Recycling attitude and behaviour in university campus: a case study in Hong Kong
TLDR
In this paper, the recycling attitudes and behaviour of university students and staff members, and suggest ways to improve environmental policies and recycling facilities in a university campus, were investigated and found that behavioural intention with regard to recycling is influenced by attitude, the subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, awareness of consequences, the mora...Abstract:
Purpose – This study investigates the recycling attitudes and behaviour of university students and staff members, and suggests ways to improve environmental policies and recycling facilities in a university campus.Design/methodology/approach – This study applies the theory of planned behaviour, through which it develops an instrument to measure the determinants of recycling behaviour among the people in a university campus. A survey was designed and administered at a public university in Hong Kong; 205 valid responses from 179 students and 26 staff members were collected. A partial least squares approach was used to validate the proposed model. This model accounted for the 42.1 per cent and 50.3 per cent variance (R2) in behavioural intention and behaviour, respectively, vis‐a‐vis recycling activities.Findings – The survey results suggested that behavioural intention with regard to recycling is influenced by attitude, the subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, awareness of consequences, the mora...read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as its theoretical framework and further attempted to extend the TPB by incorporating additional constructs (environmental concern and environmental knowledge) in it.

Understanding consumers’ behavior intentions towards dealing with the plastic waste: Perspective of a developing country
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the factors that influence the consumer's return/recycling intention regarding plastic waste and explore the recycling behavior of consumer, and find that return intention has positive significant impact on resell, reuse, dispose and donate, while reuse was the most predicted by the return intention.

Experiential and instrumental attitudes: Interaction effect of attitude and subjective norm on recycling intention
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors applied a conceptual model by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) for addressing the gap of not paying attention to the interaction of attitude and subjective norm that influences recycling intention.

Psychological strategies to promote household recycling. A systematic review with meta-analysis of validated field interventions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically review and evaluate through a meta-analysis their effectiveness, investigating also existing connections between intervention-based research and research on recycling determinants, finding that social modeling and environmental alterations were the most effective techniques.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
