Abstract
Industrial development plays the most important role in the degradation of the global environment. In line with this issue, most universities in the world have introduced environmental management to increase awareness among young generation towards the environment. Therefore, this study is employed to examine the influences of hygiene practices, awareness and involvement levels towards environmental hygiene among UMT students. The design of this study is quantitative using cross-sectional data collected from students at residential colleges in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. A total of 120 respondents participated but only data from 100 students could be used for further analysis after the data screening process. The result of this study showed that the level of awareness of UMT students on environmental issues could be categorized as moderate. Besides that, this study found that the level of awareness had significant positive influences on environmental hygiene. Meanwhile, hygiene practices and the level of involvement did not have significant influences on environmental hygiene. In addition, using the findings of this study, we suggest that the stakeholders of UMT increase the hygiene practice and involvement among young generation to increase the level of awareness regarding environmental hygiene.
