“…Zhang et al [4] claim that the attitudes of residents in Shenzhen and Tianjin, China, are an important factor in promoting their intention to participate in sorting and recycling. This is also supported in the research of Jia et al [10] with the micro-survey data of rural residents in Shaanxi province, China. Alhassan et al [7] also point out ATT as one of the determinants of the garbage separation behaviour intention in Ghana.…”

“…Ajzen defined ATT as the positive or negative cognitive representation of an individual's performance for a particular behaviour [8,9]. Many studies [4,7,[10][11][12][13][14][15] have reported the significantly positive influence of attitudes on intentions of pro-environmental behaviours.

“…The model of the theory of planned behaviour has no specific requirements on selection of external variables [17,18]. Researchers often add individual characteris task characteristics, and other exterior factors to investigate according to their own search needs [10,[19][20][21][22]. In this study, we select external variables such as gender, education background, income, and living area and proposes a hypothesis as follows H7: Individual characteristics of residents have a positive and significant impact on the decis making about waste sorting.…”

Economic growth and rapid urbanization have resulted in various urban issues related to sustainable development in emerging economies such as China. Nowadays, two-thirds of China’s cities are besieged by waste and one-fourth of the cities have no space to build landfills. China is embarking on a top-down waste sorting revolution, in which residents’ awareness and behaviour of participation are fundamental to the success of garbage classification. The purpose of this paper is to understand residents’ waste sorting behaviour and identify the influencing factors in China. The subjects of this study are urban and rural residents in Jiaxing, where local government has begun to encourage waste classification but has not yet legalized it. With the integration of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and value-belief-norm theory (NAM), this study represents a “motivation-intention-behaviour” theoretical model for the systemic illustration of the antecedents of household waste sorting behaviour. A total of 541 questionnaires were administered in person in households in Jiaxing, China. Structural equation modelling with partial least squares was applied to analyse empirically. The results show that attitudes (ATT), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) have a significant positive effect on the intention of household waste sorting (WSI), and the perceived policy effectiveness (PPE) has a positive and significant effect on the attitudes and waste sorting intention. The waste sorting intention has a positive and significant effect on waste sorting behaviour (WSB). In addition, individual characteristics have a significant impact on waste sorting behaviour, where respondents of women, higher income, and middle and old age are more willing to implement waste sorting behaviours. This study theoretically contributes to the literature by improving the understanding of the determinants of household solid waste sorting behaviour. It also provides several recommendations to improve existing policies at the practitioner level. These recommendations can be valuable references for waste management in China and other emerging economies.

“…With people paying increasing attention to the sustainable development of the environment, ER and social responsibility have gradually become separate research topics in recent years, with the former becoming an independent research subject. Many published papers have indicated that ER is receiving widespread attention in academic research and is becoming more important in organizational practice ( Peng and Mao, 2018 ; Wei et al, 2018 ; Jia et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Environmental responsibility refers to the responsibilities and obligations that individuals bear when dealing with environmental issues in the process of exploiting, utilizing, managing, and protecting resources ( Wei et al, 2018 ). Jia et al (2021) defined ER as individuals’ sense of responsibility to prevent environmental degradation or solve certain ecological problems. Peng and Mao (2018) believed that ER is embodied in individuals’ determination, courage, and spirit of dedication to solve ecological and environmental issues.…”

As social entrepreneurial intention has received increasing attention from scholars and practitioners, no clear conclusions have been drawn regarding antecedent or external factors that influence social entrepreneurial intention. This study aims to develop a structural model to shape the social entrepreneurial intention of business administration students, which involves the theory of planned behavior (i.e., attitudes, subjective norms), social capital, individual environmental responsibility, and individual absorptive capacity (i.e., potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity). Furthermore, this study regards potential absorptive capability as a multi-dimensional construct of a higher-order structure. The participants were students from business administration colleges/universities (including general universities and science and technology universities) in Taiwan. The empirical data from 969 participants were analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0 to obtain the results. The results revealed that: (1) social capital had a significant positive effect on attitudes and subjective norms; (2) attitudes, subjective norms, individual environmental responsibility, and realized absorptive capability had a positive effect on social entrepreneurial intention; however, social capital and potential absorptive capability had a negative effect. The results were discussed, and some specific recommendations for practitioners of business administration education were proposed.
