Examining the Influence of Moral Norms on Dockless Shared Bicycle Users’ Parking Behavior—An Exploratory Study Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior

Abstract

The disorderly parking of dockless shared bicycles (DBS) has brought about great challenges to the use and management of shared bicycles. Although previous research related to the DBS industry has covered many patterns, the psychological mechanisms underlying users’ behavior remain unclear. This study proposed an extended TPB model and recruited 334 participants from diverse professions and geographic locations in China to examine the influence of internal and external factors on users’ orderly parking behavior. It was shown that personal moral norms have a significant direct influence on users’ attitudes toward orderly parking and thus influence the behavioral intention of orderly parking. Users’ perception of parking facilities has significant influence on users’ perceived behavior control and intention of orderly parking. This study indicates that cultivation of users’ moral obligation can help improve users’ intention of orderly parking. Furthermore, governments and DBS companies should work together to provide sufficient parking facilities to DBS users.

A study of the purchase intention of insect protein food as alternative foods for fitness proteins

“…As shown in Table 6 , confirmatory factor analysis was used in this study. The standardized factor loading is greater than 0.6 [ 57 ], the SMC value is greater than 0.4, the t value is greater than 2.58, and the P value is less than 0.05, which is significant. The combination reliability is greater than 0.7, and the average variance extraction (AVE) is greater than 0.4, so this structure is considered to have good convergent validity [ 58 ].…”

“…In this study, AMOS 22.0 was selected for analysis. Table 7 illustrates that the standardized factor loading is greater than 0.62 ( Wei et al, 2022 ). Squared multiple correlation (SMC) is greater than 0.4, t value is greater than 2.58, p value is significant, combination reliability is greater than 0.7, and the average variance extraction (AVE) is greater than 0.5.…”

“…The issue of environmental sustainability and the negative impact of human behavior on the environment became increasingly important as users began to contemplate the relationship between humans and nature [ [42] , [43] , [44] ]. This type of study involves observing how people reduce food waste by eating out and eating vegetarian foods on a regular basis [ 45 ], regulate the use of energy-saving and environmentally friendly means of transportation, such as shared bicycles [ 46 ], and raise awareness of environmental sustainability through sustainability education and implementation [ 47 ],etc. In this study, we investigate the effect of perceived sustainability on user behavior within the virtual natural environment created by VR systems.…”
