“…This situation can generally be linked to any arena of social behavior, but it seems more vividly to the environmental aspect, where global warming is linked to individual actions by reducing the use of cars, conserving energy and reducing waste. Steinemann, Geelan, Zaehringer, Mutuura, Wolkow, Frasseck, and Opwis (2020) reported that the degree to which a given behavior would be undertaken to have a tangible effect. Citizens who believed that their actions could make any significant difference to waste issues were those who were more likely to act.…”

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to assess the level and relationship between attitude, perceived behavioral control and subjective norms with waste segregation-at-source behavior among households in Putrajaya, Malaysia. Design/Methodology/Approach: A multi-stage sampling method used to obtain four hundred households in Putrajaya for the purpose of responding to the bilingual questionnaire. The quantitative data collected were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Version 26.0 software. Specifically, the descriptive and Pearson correlation analysis used to describe and summarize the levels and interrelationships of the variables studied with waste segregation-at-source behavior. Findings: The assessment of the overall factors affecting households with waste segregation-at-source behavior has shown that 92.5 per cent of respondents are considered to have a favorable attitude. Households surveyed are also found to be highly influenced by perceived behavioral control but moderately influenced by the subjective norm. In addition, the results show that attitudes, perceived behavioral control and subjective norm have a positive relationship with waste segregation-at-source behavior. Implications/Originality/Value: The findings provide insight, in particular, to individual, governmental, educational and non-governmental organizations in Malaysia on important criteria that should be considered in the promotion of environmental policies.

“…Hasil studi tersebut sejalan dengan hasil studi yang dilakukan pada relawan sosial di empat kota Asia (Pandya, 2020), and those of a study performed in Indonesia with teachers, by Hanisah et al (2019). Although this is the case, there are contradictory study results related to connections between these two variables, such as the results in a study by Steinemann et al (2020), which stated that prosocial behavior, in any form at all, cannot be predicted from selfefficacy. This number of mutually contradictory and inconsistent study results became a powerful rationale for the authors to re-test relationships between the two variables, in this study.…”

“…Hypothesis 4: There is a role between the egoistic motives and prosocial behavior of flood Tengah (Pandya, 2020) dan hasil studi di Indonesia pada guru oleh Hanisah et al (2019). Walaupun demikian, ada hasil studi yang bertentang sehubungan hubungan kedua variabel ini, seperti hasil studi Steinemann et al (2020) yang menyatakan bahwa perilaku prososial dalam bentuk apapun tidak dapat diprediksi oleh efikasi diri. Sejumlah hasil studi yang saling bertentangan dan inkonsisten ini memberikan alasan kuat bagi penulis untuk menguji kembali hubungan kedua variabel pada studi ini.…”

In natural disaster conditions, such as floods, there are always disaster volunteers involved in assisting the people affected. Although this is the case, empirical information related to the prosocial behavior of disaster volunteers (such as during floods) is still limited. Several studies concerning prosocial behavior in Indonesia were more focused on this prosocial behavior using general samples, and those of social volunteers (not in the context of natural disasters). This study was aimed at testing the role of cultural values (collectivism and individualism), self-efficacy, and egoism (egoistic motives), regarding the prosocial behavior of flood volunteers. The authors conducted an online cross-sectional survey, of 150 volunteers involved at the time of the large-scale flood disaster in South Kalimantan, in 2021. In the study, the authors utilized measuring instruments which had already passed through a cross-cultural adaption process, and which have been proven to have satisfactory reliability and validity. The participants were chosen through purposive sampling technique, with the criteria being them having been flood volunteers in South Kalimantan and being 18 years or more of age. The results of bivariate correlation testing indicated that only the values of collectivism and self-efficacy were significantly correlated to prosocial behavior. Multiple regression testing found identical results, that partially, the values of collectivism and self-efficacy significantly predicted prosocial behavior, whilst the other variables (the values of individualism and egoistic motives) were not significant. The results of these findings illustrated that the high level of prosocial behavior by flood volunteers was explained by the presence of the value of the culture of collectivism found in Indonesian culture. Besides this, self-efficacy as flood volunteers was an influential factor in volunteer activities. The values of collectivism and self-efficacy simultaneously and significantly predicted prosocial behavior, with an effect size of R2 = .225. The results of this study have implications for the understanding of, and increasing of the level of, prosocial behavior amongst the public, via the values of a culture of collectivism and of self-efficacy. Pada kondisi bencana alam, seperti banjir, selalu ada relawan bencana yang terlibat menolong masyarakat yang terdampak. Walaupun demikian, penjelasan empiris sehubungan perilaku prososial relawan bencana (seperti saat banjir) masih terbatas. Beberapa studi mengenai perilaku prososial di Indonesia lebih fokus menjelaskan perilaku prososial tersebut pada sampel umum dan relawan sosial (bukan dalam konteks bencana alam). Studi ini bertujuan untuk menguji peran nilai budaya (kolektivisme dan individualisme), efikasi diri, dan egoisme (motif egoistik) terhadap perilaku prososial pada relawan banjir. Penulis melakukan survei cross-sectional secara daring terhadap 150 relawan yang terlibat membantu saat bencana banjir besar di Kalimantan Selatan pada tahun 2021. Dalam studi ini, penulis menggunakan instrumen alat ukur yang telah melewati proses adaptasi lintas budaya dan terbukti memiliki reliabilitas serta validitas yang memuaskan. Partisipan dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling dengan kriteria pernah menjadi relawan banjir di Kalimantan Selatan dan berusia 18 tahun ke atas. Hasil uji korelasi bivariate menunjukkan bahwa hanya nilai kolektivisme dan efikasi diri yang signifikan berkorelasi dengan perilaku prososial. Uji regresi berganda menemukan hasil yang serupa, secara parsial, nilai kolektivisme dan efikasi diri signifikan memprediksi perilaku prososial, sementara variabel lain (nilai individualisme dan motif egoistik) tidak signifikan. Hasil temuan ini menggambarkan bahwa perilaku prososial para relawan banjir yang tinggi dijelaskan oleh adanya nilai budaya kolektivisme yang melekat pada budaya Indonesia. Selain itu, efikasi diri sebagai relawan banjir menjadi faktor yang berpengaruh pada aktivitas kerelawanan. Nilai kolektivisme dan efikasi diri secara simultan signifikan memprediksi perilaku prososial dengan effect size R2 = 0,225. Hasil studi ini memiliki implikasi untuk memahami dan meningkatkan perilaku prososial di masyarakat melalui nilai budaya kolektivisme dan efikasi diri.

“…The environmental aspect of this problem stems from the belief and perception that personal behaviour execution can reduce pollution. Furthermore, [49] determined the probability that a specific behaviour would be portrayed in order to have an influence that could be felt. Therefore, due to the existing research that provides numerous positive relationship results on perceived behavioural control and actual behaviour, the following theory is put forth.…”

The inability to effectively manage waste has evolved into one of the most significant challenges faced in oil palm plantations, and this failure has had an impact on the operations within the plantation. This study examines how attitudes (ATT), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) affect both behavioural intention (BI) and sustainable waste management behaviour (SWMB) in the palm oil mills of Sabah, Malaysia. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) serves as the primary theory in this research, which uses a conceptual framework. Distributed questionnaires to the top management of 133 oil palm mills were used to gather the data, and then they were processed using Smart-PLS V4. This research found out that SN and PBC have an influence on individuals’ BI and SWMB adaptations in Sabah’s oil palm mills. The SN was shown to have the strongest association between the SWMB and BI. However, attitudes resulted in no impact on either the intention to engage in sustainable waste management behaviour or on the actions themselves. Ultimately, the findings of this study will give a framework for the governance of palm oil waste in Malaysia by contributing to the development of a legislative and regulatory framework in this area that is more effective.
