“…The finding is consistent with results from past studies (Ajzen, 1991;Bock and Kim, 2001;Ramayah et al, 2013;Samad, 2018;Abdur-Rafiu and Opesade, 2019). Furthermore, environmental knowledge has a significant influence on intention to share environmental knowledge (b = 0.146, t = 1.838, p < 0.05), which is consistent with past studies (Mostafa, 2007;Aman et al, 2012;Mohd Suki, 2013;Vicente et al, 2013;Dewi, 2019;Tiong et al, 2020), thus supporting H4.…”

“…In the context of this study, the concern is whether or not the possession of environmental knowledge encourages people to share this knowledge with others. The empirical findings of prior studies have supported the claim that environmental knowledge influences environmental behaviour (Mostafa, 2007;Aman et al, 2012;Mohd Suki, 2013;Vicente et al, 2013;Dewi, 2019;Tiong et al, 2020). This discussion leads to the following hypothesis:…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the determinants of environmental knowledge sharing behaviour among accounting educators through the lens of an extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Design/methodology/approach A total of 95 accounting educators responded to a questionnaire survey. The data comprising information on attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, possession of environmental knowledge and locus of control, as exogenous latent variables and intention to share and environmental knowledge sharing behaviour as endogenous latent variables, were analysed using the SmartPLS modelling technique. Besides the survey, interviews were conducted for triangulation purpose. Findings Except for subjective norm, all hypotheses are supported. The findings from the interviews reveal that environmental knowledge sharing activities have put educators in a peculiar position in terms of sharing environmental knowledge, as carrying out environmental activities has not been taken seriously and also seen as not the norm among the faculty members. Research limitations/implications This study focuses on accounting educators from five Malaysian public universities and deepens the understanding of their behaviour in sharing their environmental knowledge. Practical implications This study provides findings that can be useful for higher education institutions to strategize themselves in delivering environmental sustainability awareness in campus, which may enhance their efforts towards achieving sustainable development. Social implications This study provides findings that there is a need to inculcate environmental knowledge sharing among educators. Such knowledge sharing may generate good environmental norms, which may result in better environmental awareness. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the main determinants of accounting educators’ environmental knowledge sharing behaviour and extending the TPB by considering two additional variables.

“…The present study stated that about two third of the studied elderly had unsatisfactory level of practices before implementation of the awareness program, while there was an improvement in practices score after the program implementation. In the same line, study conducted in Northern Malaysia by Tiong et al, (2021) (63) who observed that to more than half of studied subjects" practices were improved after teaching program than before. In the same direction, another studies done in USA by Lavey, (2018) (64) , in Brazil by Tibola da Rocha et al, (2020) (57) and in United Kingdom by Kurup et al, (2021) (65) who confirmed that educational interventions had a significant effects in improving selfreported practices related to climate change and its effect on health of the study subjects than before.…”

Aim: To evaluate the effect of awareness program on knowledge, attitudes and practices of community dwelling elderly regarding climate change and health. Method: A quasi-experimental, pre and post intervention research design was implemented. A convenience sample of 72 community dwelling elderly attending El-Amal elderly club in Mansoura city. Tools: Five tools were used for data collection; Demographic and Health profile structured interview sheet, Climate change knowledge questionnaire, Elderly's attitude toward climate change self-rating scale, Elderly's self-reported practices about their adaption towards climate change checklist and Elderly's awareness level about climate change and its effect of health questionnaire. Results: There were significant improvement in elderly's total mean score of knowledge, practices, attitudes and awareness after 3 months from implementation of the awareness program than before (P=0.000**). Also, a statistically significant strong positive correlation was found between the total knowledge score of the studied elderly and both total practices scores, total attitudes scores and total awareness score after implementation of the awareness program Conclusion: The awareness program improved knowledge, attitudes and practices of community dwelling elderly about climate change and health. Recommendations: Dissemination of developed illustrated awareness program booklet about climate change and health to all elderly at Mansoura City should be done.
