“…The TPB and related constructs have been used in the prediction of many behaviors (e.g., Ajzen, 2001;Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980;Armitage & Conner, 2001), including a plethora of ERB (e.g., Aguilar-Luzon, Garcia-Martinez, Calvo-Salguero, & Salinas, 2012;Bamberg, 2003;Bamberg & Moser, 2007;Chao, 2012;Fielding, McDonald, & Louis, 2008;Kaiser & Gutscher, 2003). For example, in a meta-analysis of research on a wide range of ERB Bamberg & Moser (2007) tested a theoretical model that integrated TPB variables with other variables.…”

A survey of college students was used to examine predictors of four types of energy conservation behavior. Our proposed predictors were derived from Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and from problem awareness variables (environmental concern, and knowledge and beliefs about global warming) thought to have indirect effects on conservation via TPB constructs. TPB constructs were significant direct predictors of target behaviors. Perceived behavioral control (PBC) was the strongest and most consistent predictor, predicting all four behaviors, followed by perceived worth (attitude), predicting three behaviors. TPB variables mediated the effects of either environmental concern or beliefs about the consequences of global warming on three behaviors. Finally, there were also significant mediating relationships among TPB variables themselves. Subjective norm predicted perceived worth and PBC, and perceived worth predicted PBC for all but one behavior. Theoretical implications and implications for intervention are discussed. To our knowledge this is the first study to separately demonstrate, in one sample, the predictive value of TPB with respect to different types of energy conservation, and to integrate TPB variables with climate-change beliefs.

“…Perceived behavioural control is also considered a direct antecedent to behaviour, to the extent that it represents actual control. Our review of TPB studies when applied specifically to recycling found 24 independent papers (Aguilar-Luzón et al, 2012;Barr, 2007;Barr, Gilg, & Ford, 2001;Castro, Garrido, Reis, & Menezes, 2009;K.

Curbside recycling has been a very successful neighborhood-level intervention designed to maximize waste containment, but many communities have specific limitations on what products can be recycled within their community bins and must rely on depots for recycling these specialty items. The purpose of this study was to examine an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) that included both affective and instrumental attitudes and a planning construct to predict depot specialty recycling in a community sample across one month. Participants were 176 residents of detached homes who completed baseline measures of TPB and self-reported behavior one month later. Structural equation modeling identified a modest fit of the TPB, and 48% variance of depot recycling behavior was explained with the constructs of intention, planning and perceived behavioral control, yet these constructs did not perform as well in predicting change in behavior across four weeks. While proximity to the recycling depot did not relate to behavior, it significantly moderated the planning-recycling behavior relationship, whereby those who lived closer to the depot had larger planning-behavior relations than those who lived further away. Developing plans to recycle may help in addition to motivation, but these are still contingent on there being an easy commuting distance to a depot.Key Words: Affect, Instrumental beliefs, planning, depot proximity Predicting Depot Recycling 3 Environmental waste containment becomes more problematic with each passing year due to the rising global population and an increasing consumption of manufactured goods (Oskamp, 2000;Vlek & Steg, 2007). For example, Canadian households produce 13.4 million tonnes of waste (418 kg per person) and 75% of this is sent to landfill (Statistics Canada, 2004.Similar per capita statistics are present in most other developed nations.Clearly recycling is an essential element of any long-term solution to waste control, and how to motivate full participation in recycling programs becomes of critical concern to policy makers. For example, curbside recycling made easy and convenient has been shown to have an enormous effect on recycling efforts in a community (Osbaldiston & Schott, 2012). Large scale policies that involve corporate leadership and make recycling easy and rewarding have shown considerable success in the last few decades (Statistics Canada, 2004). While very promising, products such as organic waste, styrofoam, and soft plastics are not eligible in many curbside community recycling programs at present. This places the burden of specialized recycling at the level of the individual who must collect, bag, transport, and often pay for recycling.Unfortunately, in comparison to curbside (i.e., recycling with containers at one's residence) and public (i.e., casually recycling while at a public place) recycling, very little is known about the motives that underlie depot recycling behavior. Indeed, our literature search found no studies designed to examine depot recycling in ter...

“…Both of these cars serve the same purpose; however, they appeal to consumers with different values, beliefs, and norms. Indeed, many studies have demonstrated the impacts of values, beliefs, and norms on various environmental behaviors (Stern and Dietz 1994;Stern et al 1999;Stern 2000;Nilsson et al 2004;Nordlund and Garvill 2002;Schultz et al 2005;Aguilar-Luzon et al 2012).…”

Evaluation of the evolution of green management with a Kuhnian perspective

The purpose of this study is to examine the evolutionary development of green management. To do this, first, Kuhn's ''paradigm'' concept has been operationalized and the development stages of a movement of thought were determined. The green management is then scrutinized within the framework of each of these stages and the impacts of environmentalism in management research and practice are examined. It is concluded that the crises in normal science, existence of a scientific community, the presence of common beliefs, values and norms, and the increasing anomalousness are strengths of the green management. However, the core position of profit orientation in business strategies weakens the green management.
