“…Individuals are also more likely to engage in 8 certain behaviors when they understand the behavioral procedures. This role is important because individuals can misperceive their behavioral control, and a behavioral intention built on a false sense of control is unlikely to translate into actual behavior (Rosenthal, 2018).…”

Air pollution is one of the largest environmental health risks globally but is often imperceptible to people. Air quality smartphone applications (commonly called apps) provide real-time localized air quality information and have the potential to help people learn about the health effects of air pollution and enable them to take action to protect their health. Hundreds of air quality apps are now available; however, there is scant information on how effective these mobile apps are at educating stakeholders about air pollution and promoting behavioral change to protect their health. In this paper, we test how intrinsic and extrinsic motivations can enhance users' engagement with air quality information through the app, and favor changes in protective behavior. We developed an air quality app, AirForU, with a built-in research study that was downloaded by 2,740 users. We found that engagement was higher for users with intrinsic motivations, such as those who are health conscious, either because they are suffering from heart disease or other conditions aggravated by air pollution, or because they exercise often and want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Extrinsic motivations such as notifications were also effective. App users stated that they frequently shared air quality with others, learned about the Air Quality Index (AQI), and took measures to protect their health while using the app.

“…Rogers, Singhal and Quinlan (2006) assert that a mental process is involved in the decision to adopt. This notion is supported by Ajzen and fishbein's theory of reasoned action (TRA) (Özer and Yilmaz, 2011;Ameen and Willis, 2018) and Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour (TPB) (Rosenthal, 2018;Ameen and Willis, 2018). Both theoretical explanations assert the preceding mental processes of actions and patterns of actions and responses, which are backed by decisions.…”

The study explores the areas of process need in construction site management and technology utilisation to address those needs within the construction industry. An exploratory case study was used, with a focus on process need areas that could be impacted by technology infusion. Results highlight the impact of human limitations on management performance and poor utilisation of available relevant technology in the presence of managerial lapses. Inherent limitations of case study strategy were experienced in the form of number of cases and achieving uniformity of features. Nevertheless, the cases provided rich cross-validating data. The article provides empirical insights about the possibility of construction site management benefiting from increased exploitation of technology to address management shortcomings. The article highlights the need to understand individual projects in terms of site management process needs and opportunities in recent information and communication technology (ICT) to address such need areas, by linking potential utility in technology to lapses in the management process of construction sites. The study provides a baseline understanding of relevant concepts of ICT adoption in site management. While considerable interest exists regarding technology use in construction, studies explicitly contextualised within process need areas in site management and with management-centred view remain sparse.

“…As for the tested hypotheses, Rosenthal [35] tested seven hypotheses which state that intention is positively related to procedural information seeking; procedural information seeking positively influences the recycling behavior; procedural information seeking mediates the relationship between recycling intention and recycling behavior; procedural information seeking has a positive impact on recycling-related behavioral control; behavioral control mediates the relationship between information seeking and recycling behavior; higher procedural information seeking increases the positive relation between recycling intention and recycling behavior and behavioral control mediates the moderation effect [35]. Among the considered hypotheses, all but one (related to the mediation role of procedural information seeking on the positive relation between recycling intention and recycling behavior) have been accepted.…”

Consumers’ Behavior in Selective Waste Collection: A Case Study Regarding the Determinants from Romania

2020

The increase in consumerism due to population growth, excessive advertising and the constant encouragement of buying behavior by advertising media and opinion formers comes with side effects for the environment and public health if it is not properly supported by a sustainable selective waste collection process. In this context, the paper aims at determining the impact of different elements on people’s intention to participate in selective waste collection and on their behavior related to the collection process. Based on the literature, a series of variables were considered and a questionnaire was created in order to extract people’s opinions related to the selective waste collection process. As discrepancies in findings might appear due to culture in various countries, the analysis has been conducted with reference to Romania’s case. The waste collection situation in Romania is similar in some ways to other countries in the world, with some differences related to a small recycling rate compared to other countries in the European Union. In this context, it is important to identify the determinants of the consumers’ behavior in selective waste collection and to act based on these findings. Creating better policies that can support the selective waste collection process will have results in increasing the waste collection rate, offering a clear and safer environment to all the citizens.
