“…The positive attitude toward bounded rational intention, in turn, directly and significantly influence bounded rational intention toward G-banking. This result squares with the findings of the past studies, such as , Law and Breznik (2017) and Tunҫel and Betül (2021). The statistical influence of normative structure on subjective norms is found to be positive and significant.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the relationship between bankers’ perspectives and their pro-green banking behaviors (i.e. intentions). Specifically, how do bankers’ perspectives on environmental concerns, environmental normative structure and green technology affect their intentions toward G-banking activities? Design/methodology/approach A theoretical framework of the theory of bounded rational planned behavior (TBRPB) as its foundation was established. Using measurement scales to measure different aspects of environmental concern, environmental normative structure, green technology, attitudes, perceived behavioral control and subjective norms, a survey instrument was developed to examine the various associations implied by the model of TBRPB. Data were collected from the bankers of selected commercial banks in Bangladesh following the random sampling procedure. The data were analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling technique. Findings Findings indicate that all of the predictors appear to be robust in predicting the G-banking intention of the sampled bankers in Bangladesh. The results also show that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control have significant mediating effects toward bankers’ bounded rational G-banking intention. Research limitations/implications There are a few limitations in the study. First, the study considers environmental concerns as an antecedent of the attitude of bankers toward G-banking activities. Future studies can explore other variables related to environmental problems to study G-banking adoption and practices. Second, this study only considers the private conventional bankers as respondents to the survey to assess G-baking intention. In the future, other types of bankers, such as Islamic bankers and public banks’ bankers could be included in the survey to explore G-banking practices. Finally, this research has been done in a developing country-context. Practical implications In this study, environmental concerns of bankers appeared to be highly significant predictors to influence their attitudes toward bounded rational G-banking intention. Similarly, the social normative structure also appears to be a robust antecedent of subjective norms to influence bounded rational G-banking intention of respondent bankers. Finally, green technology or bakers’ personal and skill-related ability to control bounded rational G-banking intention also appeared to be a strongly significant predictor of green banking activities. All this evidence implies that respondent bankers in the sample responded positively to provide their positive intention toward G-banking activities based on their environmental concern. Social implications Important social implication of the current study is G-banking practices can help reduce carbon emissions and other pollutants which would enrich overall environmental sustainability and ecological conditions. Originality/value Few studies are directed on G-banking perspective in Bangladesh. This research is one of the empirical studies which will certainly add values for the clients, institutions and policymakers in banking paradigm.

“…In addition, an association was observed between climate change concern, personal discomfort due to hot weather, and monetary losses due to damage from extreme weather events. Public concern about climate change, meaning the level at which the public assesses the climate change consequences of its own behavior [40], is negatively influenced by economic insecurity [41] (as cited in [39]).…”

Climate change is a global issue with implications at many levels. Mitigation and adaptation to its growing impacts are of paramount importance for human livelihoods. Shaping beliefs, attitudes, and values is important in this respect. This shaping takes place mainly during the sensitive childhood years, so the orientation in primary education is particularly targeted. Our overall goal is to lay the foundations for a decent education on climate change that can lead to the desired results. On this basis, the first thing to be considered is the information that will be provided to students by their teachers. The beliefs that are held by primary school teachers in relation to climate change are an important issue for the proper performance of their work. Previous surveys of teachers have had disappointing results. In this paper, an attempt is made to review the research that has been conducted in relation to the knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes of future primary school teachers (either during their studies or during their internship and pre-service training). Emphasis is placed on the case of Greece. Our aim is to highlight the existing research in Greece, by comparing and contrasting data from other countries. Climate change is a very complex issue, and addressing it requires clearly defined actions. Is it possible to achieve the result we need by adding another competence to the already complex role of the teacher? As this review reveals, the little research on the readiness of future teachers suggests that they are not qualified to teach about climate change. It remains to be investigated whether it would be preferable to entrust this responsibility to individuals who have a fuller and more comprehensive understanding and education towards the issue of climate change.
