TLDR
In this paper, the authors compared the strength of perceived behavioral control with self-efficacy to predict volunteer tourists' intentions within the theory of planned behavior, and found that selfefficacy is a stronger predictor than perceived behavioural control in predicting tourist tourists' future behavioral intentions.
Abstract
Volunteer tourism, as an alternative to mass tourism, has grown significantly since the 1970s, sparking a growing research interest in the subject. However, little research has been conducted about Asian volunteer tourists. The purpose of this study is to compare the strength of perceived behavioral control with self-efficacy to predict volunteer tourists' intentions within the theory of planned behavior. Meta-analysis is also used to examine the effect size of the independent variables derived from the theory of planned behavior. Study results indicate that self-efficacy is a stronger predictor than perceived behavioral control in predicting volunteer tourists' future behavioral intentions.

Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (ETPB): Investigating Customers’ Perception of Restaurants’ Sustainability by Testing a Structural Equation Model

TL;DR: In this article, an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (ETPB) model was proposed to identify the variables able to guide consumers towards the choice of sustainable restaurants through the conceptual extension of a theoretical model known in literature as TBP, consisting of seven variables: attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, perceived usefulness, and curiosity.

Predicting the revisit intention of volunteer tourists using the merged model between the theory of planned behavior and norm activation model

TL;DR: Despite the importance of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and norm activation model (NAM) in explicating revisit intention, predictions based on the merging of these theories remain sparse in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors looked into the travelers' re-participation intention within a pro-social context and found that the intention of reparticipation was related to the travel experience itself.

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.
