“…The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA; Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975) is an expectancy-value model (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975) related to the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB; Ajzen, 1985) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; Davis, 1989). These models help in understanding corporate (Buchan, 2005;Carpenter & Reimers, 2005;Park & Blenkinsopp, 2009;Thomas & Lamm, 2012) and consumer ethics (Chen, 2009;Wang, Chen, Yang, & Farn, 2009) as well as issues of privacy (Hsu & Kuo, 2003), ethical product decisions (Chang, 1998;Cronan & Al-Rafee, 2008;Fukukawa, 2002;Phau & Ng, 2010) and environmental issues (Gardner & Abraham, 2010;Hinds & Sparks, 2008;Thompson & Hansen, 2012;Uhlaner, Kellermanns, Eddleston, & Hoy, 2012;Wan et al, 2012). Chamorro et al (2009) suggest that research on environmental issues and green product adoption should identify the relation between consumer attitudes, intentions and behaviors-core elements of the TRA.…”

Impact of environmental knowledge and product quality on student attitude toward products with recycled/remanufactured content: Implications for environmental education and green manufacturing

This study investigates the impact of environmental knowledge and perceived product quality on purchasing intention and purchasing behavior of recycled products: A4 paper, mobile phones and printers. The intent is to understand how to move future generations toward more sustainable behavior, as currently unsustainable amounts of waste are generated across the Far East. Expectancy value theory and the theory of reasoned action are applied to the purchase of products with recovered and/or recycled content (n = 215). The study indicates: (1) a significant positive relationship was found between both the intention to purchase and the purchase of recycled products; (2) the perception of recycled product risk has a significant negative impact on the perception of recycled product quality and the attitude toward environmental protection; (3) perceived quality of recycled product is positively related to attitude toward environmental protection; (4) perceived quality of recycled product and attitude to environmental protection are positively related to intention to purchase recycled products; and (5) surprisingly, knowledge regarding environmental damage and pollution is unrelated to attitude toward environmental protection. This study offers new insights into the impact of education on environmental protection, purchasing of greener products and the need for environmental education to move from a goal of understanding to that of action.

“…In our study, modeled changes to private industrial timber harvest provided 40 to 46% of GHG emissions reductions from harvest deferment while changes in non-industrial private forest timber harvest comprised over 20% of the GHG emissions reductions. Opportunity costs of restricting harvest can be substantial for some forest landowners [121,[132][133][134] and in particular, TIMOS and REITS, which tend to prioritize revenue generation, may have less flexibility than small non-industrial private forest landowners to change management [134,135]. More research is needed to determine the incentive, policy, and market conditions under which different landowners are able and willing to participate in timber deferment programs.…”

Potential greenhouse gas reductions from Natural Climate Solutions in Oregon, USA

et al. 2020

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are causing global climate change and decreasing the stability of the climate system. Long-term solutions to climate change will require reduction in GHG emissions as well as the removal of large quantities of GHGs from the atmosphere. Natural climate solutions (NCS), i.e., changes in land management, ecosystem restoration, and avoided conversion of habitats, have substantial potential to meet global and national greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets and contribute to the global drawdown of GHGs. However, the relative role of NCS to contribute to GHG reduction at subnational scales is not well known. We examined the potential for 12 NCS activities on natural and working lands in Oregon, USA to reduce GHG emissions in the context of the state's climate mitigation goals. We evaluated three alternative scenarios wherein NCS implementation increased across the applicable private or public land base, depending on the activity, and estimated the annual GHG reduction in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO 2 e) attributable to NCS from 2020 to 2050. We found that NCS within Oregon could contribute annual GHG emission reductions of 2.7 to 8.3 MMT CO 2 e by 2035 and 2.9 to 9.8 MMT CO 2 e by 2050. Changes in forest-based activities including deferred timber harvest, riparian reforestation, and replanting after wildfires contributed most to potential GHG reductions (76 to 94% of the overall annual reductions), followed by changes to agricultural management through no-till, cover crops, and nitrogen management (3 to 15% of overall annual reductions). GHG reduction benefits are relatively high per unit area for avoided conversion of forests (125-400 MT CO 2 e ha-1). However, the existing land use policy in Oregon limits the current geographic extent of active conversion of natural lands and thus, avoided conversions results in modest overall potential GHG reduction benefits (i.e., less than 5% of the overall annual reductions). Tidal wetland restoration, which has high per unit area carbon sequestration benefits (8.8 MT CO 2 e ha-1 yr-1), also has limited possible geographic extent resulting in low potential (< 1%) of state-level GHG reduction contributions. However, cobenefits such as improved habitat and water quality delivered by restoration NCS pathways are substantial. Ultimately, reducing GHG emissions and increasing carbon sequestration to combat climate change will require actions across multiple sectors. We demonstrate that

“…Identifying the cognitive drivers of climate‐friendly behavioural change, as well as investigating the interplay among them, has become a significant research stream in management and consumer studies (Tikir and Lehmann, ). The TPB (Ajzen, ) is thus frequently adopted to investigate the cognitive processes underlying several climate‐related behaviours, such as adaptation (Niles et al ., ) and mitigation (Thompson and Hansen, ; Lin et al ., ). According to the TPB, behavioural intentions are determined by the interplay of an individual's attitude towards a certain behaviour, subjective norms (i.e.…”

A Systematic Review of the Use of Organization and Management Theories in Climate Change Studies

et al. 2018

Climate change studies have been gaining increasing importance in the academic debate, and also in the field of organizations and management. Scholars have contributed to this field by borrowing approaches from sustainable business research. However, some authors have raised unanswered questions about the contribution of these studies to the management theories. According to them, climate change studies have failed to provide theoretical insights and too often they have adopted a descriptive and practical approach. Our review describes the theoretical contribution of the climate change papers, identifying the most often used management theories. The analysis results for 28 different management theories indicate that, while some theories such as the institutional and stakeholder theories have been widely debated, the relation between business climate change strategies and other organization theories still appears to be unexplored.
