Reduction of waste and electricity demand in the Netherlands: A hypothetical intervention Slingerland, Stephan; Paulien De Jong. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management 41.2 (Mar 1998): 195-208. Slingerland, S., & Jong, P. D. (1998). Reduction of waste and electricity demand in the netherlands: A hypothetical intervention. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 41(2), 195-208. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/ ABSTRACT A n important question in the present reorganization and liberalization of infrastructure networks in many countries is what kind of regulatory regimes can provide incentives for demand management and reduction in a future situation. In this paper, the present situation in the Dutch waste and electricity sectors is analysed. It is concluded that a quantity-based tariff system and the entwined interests of organizations are key impediments to effective demand management in these two sectors. A hypothetical intervention i...

Toward a Coherent Theory of Environmentally Significant Behavior Paul C. Stern National Research Council Stern, P. C. (2000).

It discusses definitions of environmentally significant behavior; classifies the behaviors and their causes; assesses theories of environmentalism, focusing especially on value-belief-norm theory; evaluates the relationship between environmental concern and behavior; and summarizes evidence ...

An analysis of intentions to recycle household waste: The roles of past behaviour, perceived habit, and perceived lack of facilities Knussen, C., Yule, F., MacKenzie, J., & Wells, M. (2004). An analysis of intentions to recycle household waste: The roles of past behaviour, perceived habit, and perceived lack of facilities. Journal of Environmental Psychology , 24 (2), 237-246. doi: 10,1016 / j.jenvp.2003.12.001  INI HANYA CATATAN PRIBADI, sILAHKAN RUJUK KE SUMBER ASLINYA Abstract The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was used to guide an analysis of intentions to recycle household waste in a geographical area (Glasgow, Scotland) with relatively poor recycling facilities. A sample of 252 members of the public completed a questionnaire (response rate of 66%). In addition to TPB variables, the contributions of past recycling behaviour, perceived habit of recycling, and perceived lack of recycling facilities were considered. The TPB components contributed 29% to ...

Environmental Problems and Quality of Life: Situational Factor as a Predictor of Recycling Behaviour silakan rujuk sumber asli. ini hanya sbg catatan pribadi yang di dapat di inet Saripah Abdul Latif a , Mohd Shukri Omar a , Yeop Hussin Bidin a & Zainudin Awang b* a Faculty of Business Management, Universiti Teknologi MARA Kelantan Campus, Machang 18500, Malaysia b Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Universiti Teknologi MARA Kelantan Campus, Machang 18500, Malaysia Abstract Failure in managing solid waste could result in environmental deterioration, which affects the quality of life. Recycling is argued to be a better solution to the problem. Although consumers’ aw areness is increasing, participations in recycling are still low. The objective is to examine the influence of situational factors on recycling behaviour. Using cluster sampling, 300 respondents from selected urban areas in Malaysia were identified as samples. Data is analysed using structu...

Group-level and individual-level mediators of the relationship between soldier satisfaction with social support and performance motivation Weiner, H. R. (1990). Group-level and individual-level mediators of the relationship between soldier satisfaction with social support and performance motivation. Military Psychology, 2(1), 21-32. Abstrak This research examined a model predicting soldier motivation. Line soldiers (N = 1,550) who had been members of personnel-stabilized battalions for at least 6 months responded to a questionnaire assessing perceptions of support received from peers and from leaders, identification with the work unit (company or battery), job-related self-esteem, personal adjustment, and performance motivation. Perceived leader support was a stronger predictor of performance motivation than was peer support, although both predictors demonstrated significant effects. In both cases, group-level mediation of the relationship between support and motivation wa...

WORK GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS: AN EXAMINATION OF COMMITMENT AND MOTIVATION FROM A SOCIAL IDENTITY PERSPECTIVE Lefort, J. N. (2012). Work groups and organizations: An examination of commitment and motivation from a social identity perspective (Doctoral dissertation, CAPELLA UNIVERSITY). Please reference to source, this paper for note only Paradigms Researchers have based their studies of human behavior on several paradigms. Each paradigm aligns with a distinct perspective of the world and human nature. Among the paradigms most commonly incorporated into behavioral research are the economic paradigm with its links to scientific management, the individual differences paradigm which considers the individual’s personality, the human relations paradigm which considers the influence of organizations on human behavior while stressing the importance of environmental factors and the cognitive paradigm which considers the influence of the individual’s cognitive respon...

Work groups and organizations: An examination of commitment and motivation from a social identity perspective (Doctoral dissertation, CAPELLA UNIVERSITY). Please reference to source, this paper for note only   Abstract As organizations become more work-group oriented, managers are faced with the challenge of bringing together individuals and overcoming conflicting interests and goals among the work-group members. Coupled with the growing use of workgroups and other groups within the   organizational structure, organizations also face the challenges of increasing diversity. The evolution of organizations from a static structure based on the needs of smoke stack industries to knowledge-based organic organizations creates new structures and relationships among employees within the context of the organization.

Pro-Environmental Motivation: An Evolutionarily Informed Approach Berlin, J. (2012). Pro-Environmental Motivation: An Evolutionarily Informed Approach (Doctoral dissertation, Arizona State University). ABSTRACT Pro-environmental goals often pit immediate self-interest against future communal interest. Consequently, the motivation to behave in pro-environmental ways can be particularly difficult to maintain over time. By framing environmental ills as threats to one’s chronic concerns, I suggest that chronic motivations, such as disease avoidance, can be leveraged to engender longer-lasting proenvironmental motivation. Specifically,     suggest that three distinct categories of environmental ills should be associated with distinct chronic concerns, and that the mechanisms that regulate these concerns should also regulate reactions to related environmental ills: pollution should engage a pathogenic disgust mechanism, wastefulness a moral disgust mechanism, and frami...

Bridging the intention-behaviour 'gap': The role of moral norm Godin, G., Conner, M., & Sheeran, P. (2005). Bridging the intention-behaviour 'gap': The role of moral norm. The British Journal of Social Psychology , 44, 497-512.   Please reference to source, this paper for note only Abstrac This research examined whether intentions aligned with moral norms better predict behaviour compared with intentions aligned with attitudes. Six data sets predicting behaviours in the health domain (smoking, driving over speed limit, applying universal precautions, exercising) were analysed. Moderated regression analysis indicated that participants whose intentions were more aligned with their moral norm were more likely to perform behaviours compared with participants whose intentions were more aligned with their attitude. However, further analysis indicated that this moderation effect was only present when participants construed the behaviour ...

E ffi cacy of the Theory of Planned Behaviour: A meta-analytic review Armitage, C. J., & Conner, M. (2001). Efficacy of the theory of planned behaviour: A meta ‐ analytic review.   British journal of social psychology ,   40 (4), 471-499. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) has received considerable attention in the literature. The present study is a quantitative integration and review of that research. From a database of 185 independent studies published up to the end of 1997, the TPB accounted for 27% and 39% of the variance in behavior and intention, respectively. The perceived behavioural control (PBC) construct accounted for signi. cant amounts of variance in intention and behaviour, independent of theory of reasoned action variables. When behaviour measures were self-reports, the TPB accounted for 11% more of the variance in behavior than when behaviour measures were objective or observed ( R 2 s = .31 and .21, respectively). Attitude, subjective norm ...

In-group variability and motivation to reduce subjective uncertainty . Jetten, Jolanda; Hogg, Michael A.; Mullin, Barbara-Ann. Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice4.2 (Jun 2000): 184-198. Abstrak Building on the subjective uncertainty reduction model of social identity processes (M. A. Hogg, in press-b; M. A. Hogg & B.-A. Mullin, 1999), it was hypothesized that homogeneous groups would be better than heterogeneous groups at reducing uncertainty and therefore that people would show more intergroup differentiation and turn more to a homogeneous in-group under conditions of uncertainty rather than certainty. Two minimal-group studies were conducted to investigate this idea. As predicted, when groups were homogeneous, more intergroup differentiation was observed under low certainty than under high certainty (Study 1). Study 2 provided evidence that group members turn actively to their group to reduce low certainty when the group is homogeneous. Low certainty le...

Triandis’ Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour in understanding software piracy Behavior in South Africa Contex http://wiredspace.wits.ac.za/bitstream/handle/10539/8377/J_Robinson_MA_Research.pdf?sequence=2 Robinson, J. (2010). Triandis' theory of interpersonal behaviour in understanding software piracy behaviour in the South African context (Doctoral dissertation). p.12-33   … 1.3 Triandis’ (1977) Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour (TIB) Triandis’ (1977) Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour (TIB) belongs to a school of cognitive models, namely that of Ajzen and Fishbein’s (1975) Theory of Reasoned Action and Ajzen’s (1991) Theory of Planned Behaviour (Milhausen, Reece & Perera, 2006). The Theory of Reasoned Action and the Theory of Planned Behaviour state that the key determinant of behaviour is an individual’s intention to perform a specific act. The original model, Theory of Reasoned Action, was revised and modified, as it did not include behav...

A randomized test of a small-group interactive social norms intervention Reilly, D. W., M.S., & Wood, M. D., PhD. (2008). A randomized test of a small-group interactive social norms intervention. Journal of American College Health, 57(1), 53-60. Please reference to source, this paper for note only Abstract Social norms interventions are a common approach to addressing the problem of college student drinking. An increasingly popular but not yet well-validated social-norms-based intervention consists of providing normative feedback to students in small groups. Objective, Participants, and Methods: In this study, the authors used a randomized design to test an interactive form of small-group social norms correction with 502 first-year students during September and October 2001. Because the unit of random assignment was at the level of the classroom, the authors used hierarchical linear modeling to estimate variability. They investigated whether small-...

Two Shades of (Warm) Glow: multidimensional intrinsic motivation, waste reduction and recycling from: http://www.sustainability-seeds.org/papers/RePec/srt/wpaper/2114.pdf Alessio D’Amato, Susanna Mancinelli, Mariangela Zoli silahkan rujuk kesumber aslinya Abstract Although waste minimization is considered a priority to face the waste problem, EU targets on waste prevention are very recent and most policy interventions have been oriented towards increasing recycling rates. As a result, signiFIcant improvements in recycling performance have been attained, but there is still no clear evidence of increased waste prevention. A possible explanation of different trends in waste minimization and recycling rates may be found in the existence of interactions between the two waste related behaviors as well as between policies and householdsípersonal motivations. The aim of the paper is to investigate both theoretically and empirically the impact of waste policies on recy...
