Abstract: Building a resilient national energy security reserve system requires broad public participation. However, existing studies have largely focused on macro-level policies or market mechanisms, leaving the deeper micro-level motivations underlying residents’ participation in national energy security insufficiently explored. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, this study integrates a “concern-cognition-intention” analytical framework and draws on a nationwide survey of 1,967 respondents. Using a mixed-method approach that combines PLS-SEM with fsQCA, the study examines the mechanisms of how energy supply security concerns and environmental concerns influence residents’ willingness to pay for energy security as well as the boundary conditions. The results show that: (1) energy supply security concerns enhance willingness to pay by strengthening attitudes and subjective norms, whereas environmental concerns exert a negative effect on willingness to pay through the same pathways; (2) collectivist value orientation plays moderating roles of both amplifying and buffering — it reinforces the positive effect of energy supply security concerns on attitudes while mitigating the negative effect of environmental concerns on attitudes; (3) configurational analysis reveals that high willingness to pay for energy security depends on the joint effects of internal motivations and external pressures, with attitudes playing a pivotal role across multiple configurations. This study advances understanding of public decision-making mechanisms in the context of national energy security, extends the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior to the energy security domain, and provides theoretical foundations and policy implications for enhancing public participation in national energy security governance.
