The effects of personality and intention to act toward responsible environmental behavior

Abstract

Efforts to improve environmental responsibility are still being developed partially, in fact this is the result of the interaction of various factors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of personality and intention to act of the responsible environmental behavior. This research was conducted at Senior High School Insan Cendekia Madani Boarding School in the second semester of 2017-2018 academic year. The method used were survey with quantitative-causal approach. This study used three variables i.e. personality (exogenous variable/X1), intention to act (exogenous variable/X2), and responsible environmental behavior (endogenous variable/X3). The subject were 90 students from grade XI of mathematics and science. The data analysis technique was used path analysis. Based on hypothesis test conducted, the values of the path coefficient between X1 and X2 was 0.385, X2 and X3 was 0.209, X1 and X3 throught X2 was 0.08. The results showed that there was significant indirect effect of personality to responsible environmental behavior throught the intention to act of Senior High School students.

Embracing green banking as a mean of expressing green behavior in a developing economy: exploring the mediating role of green culture

“…Some empirical studies examine green awareness and supportive environmental behavior (Boztepe 2012 ; Reddy 2018 ; Sujith 2017 ), while consumer intention profiling was the subject of certain studies in developing nations (Dabija et al 2018 ; Norton et al 2014 ; Papadas et al 2017 ). However, some researchers claim that environmental awareness is necessary to encourage green behavior (Cai et al 2019 ; Truelove and Gillis 2018 ), while another school of thought disagrees (Li et al 2019 ; Pratiwi et al 2019 ). Green behavior, on the other hand, has a wide range of consequences, i.e., a journey to economic and environmental sustainability (Farrow et al 2017 ; Truelove and Gillis 2018 ).…”

Environmental education to build school members’ character

The intensity of student involvement in environmental activities will affect their personality, shape their responsibility, and result in a good perspective and management skills (Pratiwi et al, 2019). The educational program in the Adiwiyata frame has many innovations and strategies to shape character.…”

Analysis of Student Understanding Related to Environmental Literature in Elementary School with Science Technology Community Approach

“…Pada saat ini banyak isu-isu terkait dengan permasalahan lingkungan hidup yang sedang marak terjadi. Terdapat beberapa faktor yang menjadi indikasi pemicu terjadinya masalah lingkungan seperti perubahan iklim (Bolden et al 2018), polusi udara (Martins et al 2019), populasi manusia (Krishnan and Firoz 2020), perubahan teknologi dan pembangunan (Su et al 2020), pengolahan lahan (Panwar, Singh, and Devadas 2018), dan aktivitas manusia (Pratiwi, Rusdi, and Komala 2019). Namun dari beberapa faktor tersebut faktor yang paling mempengaruhi yaitu aktivitas manusia sebagai agen utama yang berperan untuk melestarikan lingkungan.…”
