The Role of Eco-Apps in Encouraging Pro-Environmental Behavior of Young People Studying in Poland

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nowadays, protection of the natural environment is the fundamental duty and challenge of humanity. Adverse environmental changes make it necessary to encourage behaviors that will reduce our negative impact. Due to the development of media, information reaches consumers through various channels. New media, including mobile applications, are becoming increasingly popular. Their potential impact on young consumers cannot be overestimated as young people are able to modify their attitudes, behaviors and habits more easily than older ones. The main aim of this study was to recognize the use of eco-applications as a new source of information in the field of pro-environmental behavior of young people studying in Poland. The research objectives included the identification of pro-environmental behaviors most often declared by students, verifying their recognition and use of eco-applications, and determining the features of eco-app design expected by young users. The study involved the methods of desk research, in-depth interview and computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI). The empirical material obtained from 772 students representing Generation Z underwent quantitative and qualitative analysis, which allowed for the verification the proposed hypotheses. The respondents most often declared pro-environmental behavior in the household context. As regards eco-apps, the respondents were most likely to recognize applications promoted via traditional media. The main feature expected of eco-app design was ease of use, which does not mean that users expected the app to be in Polish, as this criterion was relatively low rated. The Mann-Whitney test and the Kruskal-Wallis test revealed relationships between such variables as gender, place of residence or income and pro-environmental behavior, the use of selected eco-apps and the expected features of eco-app design.

“…The studies of R. Bach et al show more frequent use of health-related applications by women [56]. Further, the studies by D. Brécard et al [57], B. Saboya de Aragão et al [58] found that in the selection of food products environmental aspects are more important for women than for men.…”

“…Unlike existing research in a non-COVID-19 pandemic context on environmentally responsible purchasing intention (ERPI) factors [ 9 , 14 , 16 , 17 ], our research proposes a research framework in Latin America focused during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically on consumer behavior in terms of environmental awareness (EC), sustainable consumption (SC), social responsibility (SR), and environmentally responsible purchase intention (ERPI) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…The responsible behavior of people during the pandemic has driven the trend of buying green products among consumers around the world [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Concerns for the environment and the planet’s well-being are increasingly important and relevant debates in a modern society [ 9 ], in which lifestyles and healthy behavior of adults are learned from childhood or in early adolescence [ 10 , 11 ]. However, it should be noted that there are sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, educational level, occupation, income level and family size that play an important role in influencing both negatively and positively the behavior of green purchasing by consumers [ 12 , 13 ].…”

The objectives of this research were: (1) to examine the influence of environmental awareness (EA), sustainable consumption (SC) and social responsibility (SR) on the environmentally responsible purchase intention (ERPI) of consumers in the member countries of the Pacific Alliance, namely, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru; and (2) to analyze whether there is a moderating effect related to the country of residence and gender of the consumer. The study was conducted under a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 1646 consumers: 24.4% from Peru (n = 402), 25.4% from Mexico (n = 418), 26.1% from Colombia (n = 401) and 24.1% from Chile (n = 397). Data analysis and hypothesis testing were performed using a multigroup Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results show a positive influence among environmental awareness (EA), sustainable consumption (SC) and social responsibility (SR) on environmentally responsible purchase intention (ERPI). Gender and country of residence were also shown to be moderating variables in these relationships. In conclusion, it can be affirmed that the participants of this study recognize the importance of acquiring environmentally friendly products. Among them, the female population is more aware of this issue. It is recommended new business models be created to provide products and services oriented to this market according to consumers’ tastes, desires and purchasing preferences; the proposals they have should be friendly to the environment and to society.

“…There is a rising awareness that businesses must take proactive measures to ensure that they positively impact the social and ecological systems upon which modern society depends (Wang et al ., 2021). Depletion of natural resources, contamination, deforestation and social prejudice are just some of the environmental concerns that have been discussed more frequently in public and private forums since then (Gunawan et al ., 2021; de Aragão and Alfinito, 2021). Many researchers have been investigating how entrepreneurship might aid in achieving the goals for sustainable development (SD).…”

PurposeThis research aims to forecast university students' intentions to contribute to sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) in an emerging market. The study observed the factors influencing students’ sustainable entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) using an extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB).Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted utilising an online questionnaire with a total of 332 college students in Gujarat, India. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data.FindingsThe outcome of the present research sanctions that university support strongly impacts perceived behavioural control (PBC) and negatively affects attitudes towards sustainable entrepreneurship (ATT). The findings revealed that environmental concern positively influences students' attitudes and perceived behavioural control towards sustainable entrepreneurship. Whereas sustainable development goals knowledge (SDGK) negatively impacts attitude and PBC. Out of the three key factors of TPB used in the study, only the subjective norm negatively affects SEI among the respondents.Research limitations/implicationsThis research may be valuable to academicians and environmental strategists in determining the most essential elements that drive students to create sustainable firms. The findings of this study back up the assumption that TPB adaptation is required when assessing entrepreneurship-specific intents.Originality/valueThe current research aimed to regulate students' entrepreneurial intention (EI) in Gujarat, India, concerning a sustainable enterprise. This research appears to be one of the extremely scarce studies that utilise the extended TPB model to investigate the effect of university support (US), environmental concern (EC) and SDGK in the context of India.
