“…A similar study also found a significant relationship between personal norms and recycling behaviour (Vanderploeg & Lee 2019;Onel & Mukherjee, 2017). Similarly, in the area of municipal solid waste, the personal norm was found significantly related to separation intention (Li et al, 2018). So this study proposed another hypothesis which is:…”

“…The VBN theory classified pro-environmental behaviours into four different major groups including Activism, non-activist public-sphere, private sphere, and behaviours in organizations (Stern, 2000;Stern et al, 1999). Many researchers tested VBN theory, which has exclusively concentrated on private-sphere pro-environmental behaviours of individuals and consumers (Gkargkavouzi et al, 2019;Li et al, 2018;Onel & Mukherjee, 2017;Fornara, Pattitoni, Mura, &Strazzera, 2016;Kim, Lee & Yang, 2015;Ylä-Mella et al, 2015;Jakovcevic & Steg, 2013;Henry & Dietz, 2012;Steg, Dreijerink, &Abrahamse, 2005;Stern, 2000). However, few studies have been focusing on this theory from a Business manager's point of view (Vanderploeg & Lee 2019;Papagiannakis & Lioukas, 2012;Andersson, Shivarajan, & Blau, 2005).…”

“…Most importantly, each variable in this chain has a direct impact on the next and indirect effect on variables down the line. In addition, personal norms are considered as the principal factors of an individual's predisposition to pro-environmental behaviours (Vanderploeg & Lee 2019;Gkargkavouzi et al, 2019;Li et al, 2018;Jakovcevic & Steg, 2013;Kilbourne & Pickett, 2008;Nordlund & Garvill, 2002Schwartz, 1992;Stern & Dietz, 1994;Stern et al,1999). Some researchers also extended the VBN theories by contributing factors including Green trust, Self-identity, Habit, and Subjective norms to demonstrate an individual's environmental behaviour (Choi et al, 2015;Gkargkavouzi et al, 2019).…”

“…However, a growing number of researchers also modified the VBN theory, excluding awareness of consequences and ascription of responsibility (Andersson et al, 2005;Kim et al, 2015;Ture & Ganesh, 2014;Whitley et al,2016;Vanderploeg & Lee, 2019;Liu et al, 2018). VBN theory has frequently been used on the waste recycling perspective (Li et al, 2018;Ofstad et al, 2017;Onel & Mukherjee, 2017;Ylä-Mella et al, 2015).…”

Bangladesh observes the production of approximately 400,000 metric tonnes of e-waste every year. It is expected that it will witness a 20% increase annually. In order to implement e-waste recycling, it is essential to uncover the influencing factors. In this study, electronic shop owners act as one of the major players responsible for the aggregation of e-waste in the country. Based on Value-Belief-Norm Theory, Self Determination Theory and synthesizing relevant literature in the body of knowledge, this paper presents an integrated conceptual model consisting Altruistic values, Egoistic values, Biosphric values, Environmental belief, Personal norm, Intrinsic motivation and Extrinsic motivation, which are predicted to influence e-waste separation intention in Bangladesh. From a practical point of view, this research sheds light on key determinants that affect separation intention, in which practitioners need to consider when developing strategies concerning e-waste management and policies in Bangladesh.

“…On the items concerning pro-environmental behaviours, the respondents were also required to rate the frequency from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The question items for values, environmental beliefs and personal norms have been used in many "value-belief-norm" studies [39][40][41]; the question items for pro-environmental behaviours are derived from Table 2; considering the spill-over effect [17,42], behaviours in the office and at home are included.

Can Green Building Promote Pro-Environmental Behaviours? The Psychological Model and Design Strategy

et al. 2020

A green building has a long lasting benefit through cultivating the occupants’ energy and resource-saving behaviours. To understand how green buildings can cultivate occupants’ pro-environment behaviours, the research applied the value–belief–norm model to investigate 17 pro-environmental behaviours which are related to a variety of green building design strategies. Two green and two non-green certified office buildings in the city of Shenzhen in China were surveyed, based on which structural equation modelling was established to confirm the relationship between personal values, environmental beliefs and norms that lead to pro-environment behaviours. Green and non-green building occupants showed significant differences in altruistic values, environmental awareness, personal norms, and pro-environmental behaviours. Green building users had more frequent pro-environmental behaviours than those in non-green buildings. The strategies that require fewer additional efforts were more likely to be adopted as pro-environmental behaviours, such as meeting daily needs within walking distance and adjusting sunshades, while the strategies that need extra physical efforts (taking stairs) or knowledge (garbage sorting) were less likely to be adopted as pro-environmental behaviours. This study pointed out important intervention opportunities and discussed the possible design implications for green building guidelines and programmes to cultivate green occupants and their corresponding pro-environmental behaviours.

CO2 emissions reduction of urban residents is one of the main ways to mitigate climate change. Clarifying the key factors of carbon emissions can provide a reference basis for the government to formulate carbon reduction policies. The old urban community that widely exist in most cities in northern China is taken as the research object. Based on the fuzzy interpretive structural model and structural equation model, a new method is proposed to explore the influencing factors of household carbon emissions (HCEs). It is found that behavior change attitude and low‐carbon personal cognition are the two most important factors affecting HCE. Elderly families, high‐income families, and low‐education families are the groups with higher per capita HCE. Different suggestions were proposed to promote HCE reduction for the high‐income young tenants and low‐income elderly local residents in the community. In addition, by introducing multi‐agent judgment, the coupling model proposed in this study reduces the subjectivity caused by excessive reliance on single agent judgment in previous studies. It enhances the credibility of research conclusions and provides a good methodological reference for research in similar fields.
