The Perception and Attitudes Towards City Garbage Management: A First Analysis

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to to explore the perception and attitude of people toward an important issue like the City Garbage Management. A new Survey Questionnaire to measure the perception and attitudes towards city garbage management has been developed by the Authors, in order to realize a very first analysis of compatibility of the Comprehensive Action Determination Model -CADM (Klöckner, 2013) with City Garbage Management issues. To test the application of the CADM model to City Garbage Management, a simple linear regression was calculated to predict the dependent variables based on predictor variables according the CADM model. The linear regression analysis shows a first confirmation of the CADM model applied to the perception and attitudes towards city garbage management.

Understanding employees’ voluntary pro-environmental behavior in public organizations – an integrative theory approach

“…The CADM suggests that environmental behavior is the result of four types of processes: normative processes (social norms, awareness of consequences, awareness of need and personal norms), habitual processes (HABs), intentional processes (intentions and ATs) and situational processes (objective and subjective constraints). All three theories have been shown empirically to be useful in explaining private pro-environmental behavior [Botetzagias et al (2015) and Greaves et al (2013) for the theory of planned behavior; Onwezen et al (2013) and Tang et al (2019) for the norm activation model; Ceresia et al (2017), Klöckner (2013), Lülfs and Hahn (2014) and van den Broek et al (2019) for the inclusion of HAB; and Tanner (1999) for the ipsative theory of behavior]. The factors in this study were selected from previous work based on their suitability for developing a comprehensive model for studying the voluntary pro-environmental behavior of employees in the public sector.…”
