The Role of Social Acceptance as A Mediator Variable in The Influence of Environmental Awareness on Willingness to Pay for Waste to Energy

This research aims to determine the role of Social Acceptance as a mediator variable on the influence of Environmental Awareness on Willingness to Pay for Waste to Energy. Participants in this research were the general public aged over 16 years. A total of 200 respondents were obtained through convenience sampling techniques. The measuring instruments used in this research are the social acceptance scale (SAS), environmental awareness scale (EAS), and willingness to pay scale (WTPS). The analysis technique used in this research uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and path analysis tests. The results of this study show that social acceptance of waste to energy cannot play a significant role as a mediator in the relationship between environmental awareness and willingness to pay for waste to energy. Other findings in this research are that environmental awareness has a significant direct effect on social acceptance of waste to energy, environmental awareness directly affects willingness to pay for waste to energy, and social acceptance of waste to energy does not affect willingness to pay for waste to energy. Suggestions for further research could deepen further into what factors can influence the willingness to pay for waste to energy.

The Effect of Environmental Awareness on Work Engagement and Employment Resilience

A crucial aspect that employees must have is resilience as well as high work engagement. Employees who are actively involved and resilient in difficult situations at work will make higher contributions than employees with low resilience and engagement, who tend to be passive. Unfortunately, work engagement and resilience can also be influenced by environmental awareness. This study aims to see the influence of environmental awareness on work engagement and work resilience in employees, especially mining employees. The type of research used is quantitative research with a saturated sampling method. The population in this study amounted to 302 people. The subjects selected were mine employees—data analysis techniques using simple linear regression tests. The results showed that, individually and jointly, environmental awareness affected work engagement and work resilience in mining employees. The results of this study answer the assumption that workers experience a dilemma. Otherwise, environmental awareness still makes employees have high work engagement and resilience even though they work in mining companies.

The influence of environmental awareness and conditions on successful aging: Evidence of air and water pollution in China

ABSTRACT This study examines three aspects of successful aging including subjective health, cognitive ability, and social participation and their relations with environmental conditions and environmental awareness. We used the seemingly uncorrelated regression and multilevel models to estimate the joint relationship by combining the Chinese General Social Survey (2013 and 2021) (N = 5404 and 1580 accordingly) and the Chinese Statistical Yearbook and used propensity score analysis to identify potential endogenous issues. The first finding is that older people who were men, married, lived in urban areas, or received social security had an edge in aging successfully. Secondly, the adverse effects of environmental pollution on older adults’ cognitive ability and social participation can be reduced by the protective effects of environmental awareness. Additionally, air pollution had more apparent effects, and water pollution was more modest in social involvement. This study offers empirical results to enhance the well-being of the older population by lifting their environmental perception and improving environmental quality.

The Relationship between Environmental Awareness, Habitat Quality, and Community Residents' Pro-Environmental Behavior-Mediated Effects Model Analysis Based on Social Capital.

Pro-environmental behavior can promote the optimization of the living environment and sustainable social development. This paper constructs a theoretical analysis framework of “environmental consciousness, habitat environment-social capital- pro-environmental behavior”. By using structural equation modeling and 1005 instances of microscopic research data, we analyzed the influence of environmental awareness and habitat environment on the pro-environmental behavior of community residents. The results of the analysis were combined with the Bootstrap method to verify the mediating role of social capital dimensions in the influence of environmental awareness and habitat quality on the pro-environmental behavior of community residents. The results show that: Firstly, environmental awareness, habitat quality, and social capital have positive effects on the pro-environmental behavior of community residents. Secondly, environmental awareness and habitat quality have positive effects on the five dimensions of social capital. Thirdly, among the five dimensions of social capital, four dimensions of social trust, social norms, sense of community belonging, and community voluntarism play a partially mediating role between environmental awareness, habitat quality, and pro-environmental behavior. This paper enriches the research on the influence of environmental awareness and habitat environment on pro-environmental behavior, reveals the mediating effect of each dimension of social capital, and broadens the horizon for the study of pro-environmental behavior. The results of the study can provide a reference for decision making to promote the implementation of pro-environmental behavior among community residents.

The Influence of Environmental Awareness on Responsible Energy Consumption—The Case of Households in Poland

The growing impact of consumption on the environment has been attracting much attention from academics for the last couple of decades and has caused inquiries into the antecedents of responsible consumption. Previous studies focused on analyzing different antecedents of responsible consumption in various areas and contexts. However, very few studies investigated the antecedents of responsible consumption in the energy sector, and only a few referred to emerging European countries. The aim of the paper is to examine the effect of environmental awareness on responsible energy consumption. Data for this study have been collected using the survey methodology. A total of 1407 households were selected as a sample for the CAWI methods of gathering data. The territory of the study population is Poland. The methodology of research involves several measurement scales of theoretical constructs. The constructs′ reliability coefficients, as well as discriminant and convergent validity indices, showed an adequate level of measurement quality. Based on reliable and valid latent variables, the comparative analysis of mediated path models with moderated mediation is estimated. Structural causal modeling with d-separation check and sensitivity analysis of indirect causal paths is applied to test the causal research hypothesis under study. The research results confirm the significant mediational role of mobilizing attitude and environmental awareness in explaining relationships between perceived consumer effectiveness and energy efficiency and curtailment behaviors.

The Influence of Environmental Awareness on Intent to Use Electric Scooters: Perspectives Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior

Consumers’ concerns about the protection of the environment affect their consumption. People in Asian countries generally choose two-wheels scooters for commuting, because they are relatively inexpensive and convenient. Although electric scooters have entered the market with an emphasis on environmental responsibility, their market penetration is still low, and there has been little research on this topic. This study attempts to explore university students’ intent to use electric scooters by using the theory of planned behavior and supplemented with environmental awareness variable in Taiwan. Overall, 500 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using the structure equation model. The results show that environmental awareness has a significant effect on students' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Attitude is the strongest predictor of the intent to use electric scooters. The results provide guidance for companies and policy makers to refine further strategy on the marketing of electric scooters.

Purchase intention of frugal household appliances among generation y in Germany – modified tam approach

Frugal innovations are characterized by a focus on the core product functions, high product quality, and the reduction of raw material and financial resources across the entire value chain. They were initially developed for people in emerging countries and focused on the unmet needs of people at the bottom of the pyramid (BOP). Different researches show that frugal innovations could also be interesting for people in industrialized countries. Existing literature indicates that customers in developed countries have different acceptance factors for frugal innovations than customers in emerging countries. The present study refers to this gap. For the first research, potential users of Generation Y from Germany are used. This generation comprised a large consumer group of more than 15 million people. They are characterized by their interest in sustainable products and social fairness. Household appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, or coffee machines are used as a potential product group for frugal innovation in developed countries like Germany. They have been an integral part of daily life in industrialized countries for many years, but they are expensive and often highly sophisticated with many functions. The basis for the study is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) expanded based on the literature. A total of 12 hypotheses were derived and combined into a study model. The subject of the research was Generation Y in Germany. For model testing, a dataset of 463 participants was generated through an online survey from December 2020 to January 2021. A multi-equation structural model was created and evaluated with the variance-based procedure PLS-SEM to analyze the relationships. The results confirmed that even in the case of frugal household appliances, the opinion of third parties influences the usefulness and the purchase intention in Generation Y. Furthermore, there was an influence of environmental awareness on the attitude towards use. Despite the affinity for technological applications, the ease of use of a frugal household appliance was shown to influence the usefulness of frugal household appliances. Contrary to expectations, the performance expectations of household appliances and the possible price advantage did not influence usefulness within this consumer group. This study concluded with indications for future research approaches in this research area.

Drivers of museum visitors' willingness to practice green activities

Our objectives were to propose and test a single framework for the relationships among environmental awareness and positive and negative anticipated feelings in building museum visitors' green behavioral intentions, and also to identify the role of environmental awareness as an independent variable or a moderator in these relationships. The proposed model and hypotheses were in general supported by data collected from a field survey completed by 270 visitors to museums in Seoul, South Korea. Results of structural equation modeling analysis indicated that anticipated feelings had a significant direct impact on visitors' behavioral intentions and mediated the influence of environmental awareness on intentions. Moreover, through a test for metric invariance, we established that it was more suitable to use environmental awareness as an independent variable rather than as a moderator variable. As museum visitors' ecofriendly behavior had rarely been explored previously in research, our findings provide meaningful insights for museum researchers and practitioners.

The influence of environmental awareness on inducing lower carbon dietary change in the UK

This study was undertaken to address the detrimental environmental impacts resulting from common diets in the UK. Lower carbon dietary change is recognised as a practice which, if encouraged, could contribute towards the achievement of national climate change targets. In this study, lower carbon dietary change consists of diets which involve reduced traditional meat consumption, as well as those with increased levels of insect meat consumption, either as a partial or primary protein replacement to traditional meat sources. Using Southampton as a study area, an experimental intervention was implemented within questionnaires (N=507) to determine whether awareness of the environmental benefits of insect consumption over traditional meat sources could be used to facilitate a shift towards the adoption of lower carbon diets. Experimental intervention influenced preparedness for different forms of lower carbon dietary change to varying extents. Reducing consumption of traditional meat sources was found to be the most favourable form of lower carbon dietary change. The consumption of insects as a partial protein replacement to traditional meat sources was somewhat more favourable than consumption as a primary protein source; however, a large proportion of individuals were reluctant towards the concept. Education, age and gender were all factors which influenced preparedness for insect consumption, but did not impact upon preparedness to reduce traditional meat consumption to the same extent. It is evident that environmental awareness can partly impact upon preparedness towards lower carbon dietary change; however, other drivers such as personal health and animal welfare were found to exert stronger influence. It is suggested that future research efforts in the UK should be directed towards ensuring the relationship between the environment and dietary choices is better understood amongst consumers, as well as gauging the extent to which additional drivers can facilitate a shift towards lower carbon dietary change.
