Using Data

This paper presents a scenario-based experimental study carried out to examine the pro-environmental behaviour of hotel guests. Using data from surveys of 438 respondents, we tested Ajzens’ Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to explain the decision-making process and the influence of social normative interventions on intention formation regarding towel reuse. Based on theoretical support, a refined TPB model was created, incorporating past behaviour construct. The results revealed that behavioural intentions did not statistically differ between four groups of customers who were exposed to four types of messages: injunctive, descriptive, combined normative and the standard hotel message. Structural equation analysis disclosed that attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control positively affected hotel guests’ intention to reuse a towel. Further investigation indicated direct and indirect effects of past behaviour on core TPB variables while a refined model showed a better fit to the data and greater predictive power than the original TPB.

Equation Analysis

According to the theory of planned behaviour, a real behaviour that a person thinks about is best predicted by a certain intention (behavioural intention). Until now there is little known about the intention of German non-medical staff in preclinical emergency and rescue medicine to study emergency paramedics. For the verification of the data of 1.585 non-medical staff in preclinical emergency and rescue medicine from all 16 federal states of Germany collected by questionnaires, a linear structural equation model (SEM) was presented by means of inference statistical quality criteria (fit model) and evaluated by IBM SPSS Amos Grad Pack V.24.0. A complete causal model (SEM) with four measurement models (four-factor solution) could be created by using a path diagram. The measurement models of the present SEM should be investigated in further studies (Quality: root mean square error of approximation 0.121 and χ2/df 24.273). The results obtained in this study confirm positive intention of non-medical staff in preclinical emergency and rescue medicine to graduate from an undergraduate degree course in emergency paramedics. Personal behaviour as well as management should be critically debated, as far as an intention to study to become an emergency paramedic is concerned.
