Including consumer profiling The emerging bakery industry in Malaysia has shown that the bakery industry has great potential to further develop and grow, especially in terms of product development and services offered. However, due to this advances and development, the halal issue regarding these bakery products has raised the concern among the consumers. The issue of the halal status usually related to the bakery products is the origin of the ingredients used in the production. To be specific, when doubt about the ingredients arises, the buying decision of the consumers is affected. The acceptance, awareness and readiness of the consumers in Malaysia have shown a good evidence in terms of how the purchase of halal products is greatly influenced by the halal concept. Hence, this research is undertaken to investigate the application of Theory of Planned Behaviour in examining consumer purchase intention and actual purchase behaviour and the interrelationship between them in the context of halal bakery products among consumers in the Petaling district, Selangor. In addition to that, in this study, the halal certification acts as the moderator which affects Theory of Planned Behaviour, while Purchase Intention represents the mediation effect of this study. Furthermore, the most influential factor which influences the purchase intention towards halal bakery products is determined at the end of this study. 500 validated questionnaires using a four-point Likert scale were distributed to the target purchasers of bakery products at selected bakery outlets in the Petaling district, Selangor. A purposive sampling, was opted in this study since the focus of this study is only on the consumers who purchase bakery products in the respective areas of the Petaling district. Out of the 500 distributed questionnaires, 476 questionnaires could be used and were subjected to data analysis using the SPSS software version 24 for assessing the demographic profile of the respondents. For further analysis, the Partial Least Square method (i.e. PLS-SEM) was performed to analyze the measurement and structural models of this study. The results indicate that perceived behavioral control represents the most influential factor which predicted the consumers’ intention and actual purchase behavior in purchasing halal bakery products with (þ^ = 0.388) and (þ^ = 0.355), respectively. However, attitude was found to have a non-significant relationship with the actual purchase behavior þ^ = 0.042. Apart from that, the moderating effect indicates that both models show that there is a negative significant effect towards Purchase Intention, since the effect of the moderating effect has been found to be relatively small (Range f²: .014 to .018) and (f²: .027). The findings of this study can be beneficial to the food manufacturers and producers, as well as the Malaysian government bodies in developing effective strategies in order to maximize the consumer purchase behavior, especially for halal bakery products. 2020-11 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/60057/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/60057/1/60057.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Hotel and Tourism Management Mat Issa, Zuraini (Assoc.

description The emerging bakery industry in Malaysia has shown that the bakery industry has great potential to further develop and grow, especially in terms of product development and services offered. However, due to this advances and development, the halal issue regarding these bakery products has raised the concern among the consumers. The issue of the halal status usually related to the bakery products is the origin of the ingredients used in the production. To be specific, when doubt about the ingredients arises, the buying decision of the consumers is affected.
