In 2015, the results of United Nations research called out Indonesia as the second-largest contributor to plastic waste in the ocean, following China. This problem was, absolutely, inseparable from improper waste disposal behavior. This recent research was intended to prove the theory of planned behavior in the issue of throwing garbage in public places. Variables included in this case were attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention. Questionnaires were distributed online and offline to people who had thrown out their garbage in public places. A total of 396 respondents were obtained, and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used in this research with IBM SPSS 25 and AMOS 24 tools. This research found that the good value of public place visitors’ attitudes would develop their intention of throwing garbage properly. Visitors misunderstood the function of the cleaning service officers. They considering that their garbage would be taken care of by the cleaning service officers. The availability of trash cans in public places would support the visitors’ behavior in managing their garbage.

I conducted a survey to examine the impact of subjective norms, behavioral attitude, and perceived behavioral control on ethical purchase intention with 445 consumers selected by random sampling in Wuhan City, China. Results based on a structural equation model showed that behavioral attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control all significantly influenced ethical purchase intention of the respondents, with subjective norms being the strongest predictor of ethical purchase intention. Furthermore, perceived behavioral control not only significantly and directly influenced ethical purchase intention but also had an indirect influence on ethical purchase intention through behavioral attitude as a mediator.

This study examined the formation of residents’ behavioral intentions to support the expansion of protected areas (PAs). A structural equation model combining the theory of planned behavior and an expectancy disconfirmation model were employed to test seven hypotheses on the influence of expectations, performance, satisfaction, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on behavioral intention to support PA designation. The findings indicate that although the expectations of PA performance did not significantly influence the satisfaction from PAs, the perceived performance after the designation significantly contributed to building satisfaction, which in turn had a significant role in explaining attitudes. Furthermore, positive and significant associations of subjective norms and behavioral control with behavioral intention to support additional designation were identified. These results provide indications for PA managers and environmental agencies regarding aspects to consider when engaging in planning with local communities and appropriate ways to respond to their concerns.

This study analyzes why managers accrue and disclose environmental liability, which involves managers’ discretions. Using the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen 1991), this research hypothesizes that a manager’s intention to accrue and disclose environmental liability is influenced by: (1) attitudes (2) subjective norms, and (3) perceived behavioral control of the manager towards accruing and disclosing such information. The data was collected through a survey, employing a questionnaire modified from Weidman (2002). Responses from 50 corporate managers in Lampung Province were analyzed using structural equation model software package SmartPLS. This study finds that a manager’s attitude towards environmental liability is positively associated with his/her decision to accrue and disclose environmental liability. However, there is no evidence that subjective norms and behavioral control are associated with such a decision. An additional test using attitude as a moderating variable provides evidence that both subjective norms and perceived control behavior are positively associated with the attitude towards environmental liability.

Innovations in food packaging, such as active and intelligent ones, improve food safety and lower household food waste by extending product shelf life and providing information about food quality, respectively. The consumer adoption of such innovations could contribute to reaching one of the Sustainable Development Goals which calls for halving the per capita global food waste by 2030. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the consumers’ willingness to purchase active and intelligent packaging to reduce household food waste using a sample of 260 Italian consumers and a modified Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model. Using a structural equation model, findings show that respondents are more willing to purchase intelligent packaging rather than active packaging to reduce their wastes at home. Finally, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, awareness, and planning routines are the most important drivers of the intention to reduce household food waste.

In the context of dramatically increase in electricity demand, Vietnam's potential for power supply remains limited. Research and promotion of electricity saving behavior of households become significant to reduce electricity consumption and protect ecological environment. This study incorporates elements of planned behavior theory (TPB) and norm activation model (NAM) as the basis for developing and extending key assumptions. In addition, expansion TPB is used to study influence factors affecting electricity saving behavior. Through a sample of 395 randomly selected residents in Tay Ninh Province and Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam, the proposals were checked using a structural equation model (SEM). The results showed that the factors in TPB and NAM (such as perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, attitude, personal moral norm) and additional factor (perceived benefit) are the important factors that influence resident's intention of saving electricity. Moreover, electricity saving behavior is strongly influenced by the intention of saving electricity, perceived benefit, policy and social propaganda. Based on these results, some inferences are drawn, and recommendations are made for policy makers and further research proposals are discussed.

The recent modern healthy lifestyle is influenced by the selection of food ingredient such as organic vegetables. Organic vegetables are well known in community. But, the purchase of organic vegetables has decreased in the last few years because price has been high, packaging and quality have not been interesting, and low priority on organic vegetables than conventional vegetables. This research was conducted by the Theory Planned Behaviour (TPB) approach with 6 variables. Those are price, packaging, quality, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control to analyze the effect of factor to the decreased purchase attitude and intention buy organic vegetables with Structural Equation Model (SEM)-Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis.

The individual taxpayers’ low awareness has become the main problem of developing countries in tax aspect. Thus, this study aimed to examine the determinant factors of tax noncompliance using Ajzen’s (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior as a theoretical framework. Specifically, Tax Amnesty is added to the theory’s constructs: attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Tax Amnesty is expected to be a moderating influence. The population of this study is individual taxpayer in KPP Pratama Sukomanunggal. Based on convenience sampling method, the number of sample in this study are 145 samples. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS.3.0 and SPSS 21. The results indicated that first, attitude and subjective norms are significantly influence behavioral intention except perceived behavioral control. Second, the model including Tax Amnesty provides a significant influence of tax noncompliance in two constructs; attitude and subjective norms. However, the interaction effect of perceived behavioral control does not appear significantly.
