The determinants of intention to buy retirement plans of HCMC residents

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the determinants of intention of HCM city’s residents in buying retirement plans which have recently been launched to provide additional incomes for retirees and to relieve the national budget. The research model was conducted based on the theory of planned behaviors (Ajzen, 1991), future time perspective, and financial risk tolerance. PLS-SEM was applied in data analysis. The result indicates the determinants of purchase intention; among those, the attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and future orientation have positive impacts, and financial risk tolerance has negative impact on intention.
