“…As for environmental attitudes, results show that those citizens with firm environmental attitudes are the ones who make the most environmentally aware purchases, confirming hypothesis H1b and the considerable body of research that has demonstrated that environmental attitudes determine some pro-environmental purchase behaviour such as the willingness to pay for green electricity (Hansla, Gamble, Juliusson, & Gärling, 2008), green cars (Coad et al, 2009), green products (Ramayah et al, 2010;Rekola, 2001) and plastic bags (Jayaraman et al, 2011).…”

“…From the 1990s, pro-environmental behaviour has been operationalized as conservation behaviour (Castro, Garrido, Reis, & Menezes, 2009), recycling (Saphores et al, 2012), transport use (Eriksson, Garvill, & Nordlund, 2008), household consumption, (Ole, 2008), household waste separation (Tadesse, 2009). Meanwhile, research has addressed not only consumption habits but also purchase patterns in different areas, such as buying green products (Coad, De Haan, & Woersdorfer, 2009;Ramayah, Lee, & Mohamad, 2010), eco-labelled food products (Grankvist & Biel, 2007), electrical appliances (Gaspar & Antunes, 2011) and plastic bags (Jayaraman, Haron, Sung, & Lin, 2011). A whole variety of pro-environmental consumer behaviours are thus analysed in different studies.…”

Over the last 30 years, Spain has witnessed great economic growth. Nevertheless, in spite of an increasing degree of environmental concern, environmentally friendly attitudes and behaviours are still clearly below the European average. In this context, this paper analyses the impact of personal control and attitudes, and of certain socio-demographic, economic and political variables in the development of two environmentally friendly behaviours in Spain: consumption and purchase. The data were provided by a survey carried out in 2007 by the Centro de Investigaciones Socioló gicas (Centre for Sociological Research) in Spain. The results show the importance of personal control, level of environmental information, political ideology, age and educational level variables to explaining the development of pro-environmental-related consumption behaviours. Personal attitudes, work situation, female gender and level of environmental information influence pro-environmental purchase behaviour in a positive way. Taking into account that personal attitudes are more determining of pro-environmental purchase than consumption behaviour, policy measures such as informal education, tax measures, social and individual norms and interpersonal and institutional trust are discussed to increase the development of pro-environmental behaviours in Spain.

“…Employees, having awareness about the environment will regulate positive behavior toward the environment such as purchasing products having eco‐labels, consuming organic foods, and participating in recycling programs. Jayaraman, Haron, Sung, and Lin (2011) conclude that green campaigns are the best ways to build awareness among employees regarding green behavior. For organization, it is necessary that they should encourage those practices that are effective for creating awareness among employees.…”

This article explores the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and three green triggers of environment (awareness, concern, and knowledge) on employee well‐being and green behavior. The study engages the stimulus–organism–response model for testing the association between CSR and well‐being of employees that leads to employee green behavior. Furthermore, social exchange theory has been utilized to describe the association between well‐being and green behavior of employees. Data have been gathered through questionnaire from 509 employees working in guest‐service hotels of Pakistan. Structural equation modeling has been used to test the hypotheses. Findings show that CSR, environmental concern, and knowledge have positive effect on employee well‐being, whereas environmental awareness has positive but insignificant effect on employee well‐being. Furthermore, environmental concern, knowledge, and well‐being have a positive influence on green behavior, whereas CSR and environmental knowledge have a positive but insignificant effect. Moreover, well‐being fully mediates the relationship between CSR and green behavior and between environmental awareness and green behavior of employees. However, a partial mediation was observed between environmental concern and green behavior. The findings also indicate that no mediation was found between environmental knowledge and employee green behavior. The findings suggest that the hotel managers should invest to improve employee's awareness regarding green behavior by conducting environmental training for cultivating environmental knowledge and awareness. Moreover, CSR activities should be performed for attaining competitive edge and maintaining a balance between progress and sustainability of environment.

“…Deriving from renewable resources, bio-plastics have been considered a possible alternative to plastics derived from fossil fuels. Available literature covers the environmental performance of bio-plastics, their suitability as an alternative to regular ones, developments in their physical structure, their cost and diverse applications (Brehmer et al, 2009;Du et al, 2004;Jayaraman et al, 2011;Khoramnejadiana et al, 2011;Kim and Sharma, 2012;Lopez et al, 2011;Mumtaz et al, 2010;Piemonte, 2011). In contrast, a stark gap can be found in literature, articulating how these materials are received by users.…”
