“…There is a special psychological bond between employees and the organization, which determines their work and organizational behaviour. This psychological bond may be expressed by the commitment the employee feels toward the organization (Abrams, Ando, & Hinkle, 1998;Allen & Meyer, 1990;O'Reilly & Chatman, 1986). Research suggests organizational commitment is one of the main predictors of such extra-role behaviour.…”

“…Ando et al reported that the Japanese subjective norm, which is a psychological element that considers what close people such as family members think, had a greater influence on Japanese in performing PEBs than it did for Germans. Other studies showed that Japanese people cared about other's points of view as part of their culture, and the effect of such attitude on their behaviors was larger than in other cultures [16,23,24]. Aoyagi-Usui et al also concluded in their report that the structure of environmental values and factors encouraging environmental actions differ by country and type of actions [17].…”

Abstract:The gap between people's attitude and action as regards environmental issues has been pointed out even while surveys registered an increase in people's environmental awareness. Among the possible reasons is that people tend to automatically answer "yes", as most surveys on environmental consciousness use positively-phrased questions or prompts. To remove the "yes-bias" in previous surveys, this present study conducted in Japan a large-scale questionnaire survey on environmental consciousness using negative prompts and free-answered prompts on which behaviors people feel good/bad/uncertain for the environment. This study also investigated peoples' psychological factors and concrete pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) in daily life. The results of the questionnaire with negative prompts showed that the rate of people's consciousness to the environment was lower compared with other surveys. Through factor analysis, five psychological factors were extracted as the explanatory factors of environmental attitude. Demographic effects on the consciousness and PEBs were also observed. Comparison of free-answers on concrete daily behaviors among five different environmentally conscious groups showed there were certain phases in the perception of PEBs based on consciousness level. Similar common behaviors were highly ranked as both PEB and doubtful behaviors, indicating that people were worried about actions that involve a trade-off relationship from diversified standpoints.

“…Although people may intend to practice PEBs, various factors such as traditional values, lifestyle, and surrounding circumstances can influence their behavior. In the field of PEB studies, to understand the PEBs deeply, various cross-national studies have been conducted [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

To develop the low-carbon society, in addition to the efforts by industrial and commercial sectors, promotion of people's pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) has become one of the key issues. Some PEBs have been investigated in previous studies, however, the targets were limited to particular behaviors (i.e., recycling, water saving, electricity saving). The holistic view of understanding the characteristics of PEBs has remained insufficient. In this study, we selected 58 daily PEBs from various fields and investigated people's practice rates and attitudes in Seoul and Tokyo. The questionnaire surveys were conducted and 2393 (Seoul) and 2220 (Tokyo) valid responses were analyzed. Most PEBs had significantly different practice rates between Seoul and Tokyo. It can be concluded that the surrounding conditions, such as policy and infrastructure, have some influences on these differences. The positions of the reasons to practice or not to practice PEBs were visualized using multiple correspondence analyses. The results indicated that the monetary reason was the common factor for many PEBs, while some PEBs showed different reasons. The socio-demographic effects were not significantly different between the two regions. Commonly, women and older people showed more activities on PEBs.
