“…Mak et al (2019) conducted an investigation of C&D waste recycling in Hong Kong and found that economic incentive is a key factor of influencing stakeholders' recycling behavior. For example, contractors may be not very positive to implement on‐site waste sorting as the payback is not so optimistic.…”

“…"Perceived behavioral control" means for people an awareness of the ease of executing behavior (Ajzen, 1993) (Figure 1). In studying recycling intent, the importance of the TPB model is highly appreciated when comparing strong positive associations between the three abovementioned constructs and recycling behavior using path analysis (Chan and Bishop, 2013;Mak et al, 2019). The TPB model is shown in Figure 1.…”

Purpose To achieve proper waste management, the disposal of electronic waste (e-waste) is one suitable method. Most developing countries, including Malaysia, are facing lack of e-waste recycling facilities and low household participation. Using a survey method using a questionnaire, this study aims to examine the intention of Malaysian households to drop-off their mobile phones to the nearest collection boxes (n = 600). Design/methodology/approach This study expanded the theory of planned behavior by adding environmental awareness and knowledge. In addition, the cost of disposal and the convenience of the available disposal infrastructure were measured as two parts of the perceived behavioral control. Findings The results of this study show that environmental knowledge and awareness have a significant impact on attitudes toward recycling intention of the households. In addition, it was also found that the attitude and cost of disposal infrastructure is positively related to household intention. Originality/value These results show that if e-waste collection boxes are provided to the nearest community and e-waste management information is distributed, this will increase household participation in e-waste management.

“…The results revealed that individual norms and environmental motivation were considered to be the critical influencing factors. Similarly, based on the extension of the TPB, Mak et al (2019) [59] explored the critical factors for the recycling behavior of construction and demolition waste stakeholders in Hong Kong.…”

Since the theory of planned behavior (TPB) was proposed by Ajzen in 1985, it has attracted extensive interest and been widely applied worldwide. Although an increasing number of studies have employed the TPB in the domain of environmental science, there have been no attempts to retrospectively analyze existing articles. The current study aimed to holistically understand the application status of the TPB in environmental science from a knowledge domain visualization perspective. A total of 531 journal articles were obtained through the Scopus database to perform a bibliometric analysis and content analysis. The results showed that waste management, green consumption, climate and environment, saving and conservation, and sustainable transportation are the primary research topics; the United States (U.S.), Mainland China, the United Kingdom (UK), and Malaysia are the most productive countries/regions. Moreover, the cross-disciplinary situations, main source journals, and key articles were revealed. Furthermore, the extended factors, integrated theories, major methods, specific groups, and control variables of environmental science research using the TPB were elaborated and integrated into a comprehensive application framework. Constructive criticisms were ultimately discussed. The findings contribute in several ways to help relevant researchers learn about the application of TPB to environmental science and provide new insights and holistic references for further research on environment-related behavior.
