“…Individuals with social ties to others who hold pro-environmental norms are more likely to engage in PEB (Videras et al, 2012). Peers also positively influence the intensity of green consumption (Welsch and Kühling, 2016), positively impact the guiding of recycling behavior (Arı and Yılmaz, 2016) and influence the adoption of GHG mitigation of their neighbors (Babutsidze and Chai, 2018). Concerns about one's own reputation also influence individuals PEB (Alpízar and Gsottbauer, 2015).…”

This paper provides a systematic review of current economic and psychological studies on the determinants of PEB published up to 2017. Our normative understanding and study of PEB can benefit from an integral review of these research traditions. Consequently, we identify various determinants of PEB that can be classified into four major types: • Socio-demographic factors (personal capabilities) • Attitudinal (psychological) factors • Habits • Contextual factors (individual, social and institutional) Our paper shows that to understand the complex workings of PEB, it is no longer viable to study its determinants individually, but researchers must rather consider an interplay of these factors. In addition to the introduction of this intersectional approach, we show that measuring PEB in an adequate way requires the consideration of more than one or two distinct behaviors (multiple items) as the impact of the determinants differs depending on the analyzed behavior. PEB itself can also be distinguished into types of PEB (private vs public sphere behaviors, environmental activism). Additionally, our review gives an overview of the typical methodological approaches and systematizes the questions used to measure PEB. By combining results from economics and psychology, this work offers a starting point for a more intersectional and interdisciplinary understanding of PEB, and a guide for further empirical investigations.

“…Further, the behaviour category is constantly influenced by the personal and corporate categories and, in construction waste management, the behaviour category is more sensitive to changes in personal factors-such as attitude-compared to corporate factors-such as training [33]. According to Arı and Yılmaz [34], positive ideas, in terms of a person's perceived behavioural control and the individuals in their immediate social surroundings-whose opinions they value-have a positive impact on guiding their recycling behaviour. Therefore, it can be illustrated that positive ideas about construction waste recycling generate good impacts on recycling in construction.…”

“…There is a positive relationship between the environmental concerns due to recycling and the attitude towards it [37]. The theory of planned behaviour is considered by many researchers when conducting research in construction waste management and also in the waste management discipline as a whole [2,34,[36][37][38].…”

“…Therefore, it is not challenged by the employers' supportiveness towards recycling. Similarly, according to Bakshan, Srour [34], attitudes are personal in nature and falls under personal factors influencing the recycling behaviour. However, if attitude towards construction waste recycling needs to be enhanced then positive personal beliefs towards recycling must be cultivated through personal training and workshops.…”

Practitioners Recycling Attitude and Behaviour in the Australian Construction Industry

et al. 2018

Construction waste management and recycling is widely discussed. However, at present there is still a significant amount of waste generated during the construction process. Considering this fact, this research aims to analyse the recycling attitudes and behaviours in the Australian construction industry. This paper investigates attitudes and behaviour towards recycling habits in construction; understands how recycling is viewed and carried out by practitioners in the industry; explains the causes of these states of mind; and formulates techniques that could be utilized to improve waste management and recycling acceptance within the industry and improve its effectiveness. Initially, the required data was collected through a questionnaire survey. Afterwards, a statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software. It was found that the practitioners' attitude towards recycling habits are positive; however, their behaviour is not as strong as it should be. This means that the industry is aware and concerned about recycling in construction and willing to improve the environment by developing recycling habits. Recommendations to improve attitudes and behaviour towards recycling habits are also suggested, such as legislation and market driven developments, improvements of waste management methods, provisions in work method statements, sharing research and applications in sub-industries and developing communication.
