Using the theory of planned behavior, we investigated the factors motivating residents' intention to take collective action by participating in not-in-my-backyard protests. We conducted a survey with 286 Chinese residents living near a waste-to-energy incineration plant. Results of structural equation modeling show that the personal factors of attitude, subjective norm, and self-efficacy positively affected intention to protest. Perceived group size (in-group factor) indirectly and directly affected intention, and social trust (out-group factor) indirectly affected intention through perceived environmental health risk. The effect of situation factors on intention was positive for perceived environmental health risk and negative for perceived action risk. Collective efficacy and perceived economic risk had no significant effect on intention. It is, therefore, important to promote social trust to decrease risk perception and to prevent protest when locating not-inmy-backyard facilities.

The deterioration and destruction of the environment is becoming more and more considerable and greater efforts are needed to stop it. To accomplish this feat, all members of society must identify with solving environmental problems, environmental collective action being one of the most relevant means of doing so. From this perspective, the analysis of the psychosocial factors that lead to participation in environmental collective action emerges as a priority objective in the research agenda. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine the role of “environmental identity”, as conceptualized by Clayton, as a central axis for explaining environmental collective action. The inclusion of the latter in the theoretical framework of the SIMCA (social identity model of collective action) model gives rise to the model that we have called EIMECA (environmental identity model of environmental collective action). Two studies were conducted (344 and 720 participants, respectively), and structural equation modeling was used. The results reveal that environmental identity and a variety of negative emotional affects, as well as group efficacy, accompanied by hope for a simultaneous additive effect, are critical when it comes to predicting environmental collective action.

<p><em>This study aims to examine the influence of personal factors on organizational commitment. Personal factors in this study are interpreted with job choice factor, expectancy, and psychological contract variables. Research respondents were private madrasa teachers in the Central Java Indonesia. Data analysis using structural equation modeling partial least square shows that personal factors have a positive and significant effect on teacher organizational commitment. Job choice factor is the consideration of the applicant the first time someone decides to work as a teacher. Individuals have evaluated salary, the nature of the type of work as an educator, as well as long-term prospects such as the possibility to become permanent teachers of a madrasa / school and the opportunity to get certified. Teachers have expectations regarding financial and non-financial compensation and hope the head of the madrasa or foundation provides reciprocity or appreciation for their sacrifice to the organization. Teachers always expect a positive response from the </em><em> </em><em>head of the madrasa/foundation, as their workload increases. Positive responses from the head of the madrasa/foundation provided their commitment to work and organization will always increase</em><em>, c</em><em>onversely</em><em>.</em><em> </em></p><p> </p>

Sampah yang tidak dikelola merupakan sumber pencemar lingkungan dan tempat berkembangnya berbagai macam bakteri, pathogen, parasit dan sarang berbagai vektor.Pencemaran lingkungan yang disebabkan oleh sampah yang terjadi di kota Meulaboh Kabupaten Aceh Barat dapat terlihat dengan banyaknya ditemukan sampah yang dibuang tidak pada tempatnya sehingga menimbulkan kesan kumuh dan kotor dan menghasilkan bau yang tidak sedap.Penelitian Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) tahun 2012 menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 78,1% masyarakat Kabupaten Aceh Barat belum menerima layanan pengangkutan sampah, hal ini menggambarkan bahwa manajemen sampah kota di Kabupaten Aceh Barat belum berjalan dengan baik. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untukmengidentifikasi kesesuaian pengelolaan sampah dengan peraturan dan perundang-undangan tentang manejemansampah.Jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan rancangan studi kasus di kota Meulaboh.Subjek Penelitian terdiri dari 4 orang penjabat eksekutif pemerintah Kabupataen Aceh Barat dan 7 orang tokoh masyarakat.Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masih terbatasnya anggaran dalam manajemansampah.Umumnya masyarakat masih kurang terlibat dalam pengelolaan sampah dan cenderung melimpahkan tanggung jawab pengelolaan sampah kepada pemerintah.
