This study investigated the moderating influence of the five-factor model of personality (FFM) on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in the exercise domain. Although an analysis of all possible moderation effects was conducted, it was hypothesized that high extraversion (E) and conscientiousness (C) individuals would demonstrate significantly stronger relationships between intentions and exercise behavior than those low in E and C. Conversely, it was expected that high neuroticism (N) individuals would show a significantly weaker relationship between intention and exercise behavior than those low in N. A total of 300 undergraduate students completed measures of the FFM, TPB, and a 2-week follow-up of exercise behavior. Two-group structural equation models of the TPB were created using a median split for each personality trait. Overall, 5 significant (p < .05) moderating effects were found. Specifically, N was found to moderate the effect of subjective norm on intention. E also moderated the effects of subjective norm on intention as well as intention on behavior. C moderated the effects of affective attitude on intention and intention on behavior. Theorized influences for the presence or absence of personality moderators are discussed. The results generally support the possibility of personality being a moderator of the TPB but highlight the need for future research and replication.

Using Data

Whistleblowing is a psychological process that involves the calculation of risks and benefits. While there exists a broad range of research on whistleblowing in the public sector, previous studies have not examined its entire process due to the limited focus on either whistleblowing intention or whistleblowing behavior. This study aims to fill this gap by applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to the whistleblowing context. Specifically, we examine how individual beliefs about the likely consequences of whistleblowing (attitude toward whistleblowing), others’ expectations about whistleblowing (subjective norm), and the capability of blowing the whistle (perceived behavioral control) influence public employees’ actual whistleblowing by way of their intention to report wrongdoings. A series of structural equation models are tested using data from the 2010 Merit Principles Survey. The findings show that the more the employees perceive that the consequences of whistleblowing are important, the more the key referents support whistleblowing, and the more the protections for whistleblowers are available, the more likely are their intentions to disclose wrongdoings and then actually engage in whistleblowing behavior. We conduct additional analyses for internal and external whistleblowers separately and find that there are both meaningful similarities and differences between the two groups. This study provides support for the validity of TPB as a theoretical framework for better understanding and explicating the psychological process of bureaucratic whistleblowing.

Cheating on tests is a serious problem in education. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a modified form of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to predict cheating behavior among a sample of Saudi university students. This study also sought to test the influence of cheating in high school on cheating in college within the framework of the TPB. Analyses were conducted on a sample of 322 undergraduate students using structural equation modeling. The results were consistent with the TPB model’s predictions. The TPB model explained a modest variance in cheating in college. When cheating in high school added to the model, the proportion of explained variance increased and cheating in high school was the best predictor of cheating in college. Although not hypothesized by the TPB, subjective norm had a direct effect on attitude.

The Relationship

Using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model, this research aimed to investigate which important factors affect the potential behavior of rural tourism tourists. It also sought to identify the effects of social networking service (SNS) use on the rural tourism using TPB model. For analysis, a partial least squares-structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was used. The results revealed that tourists were influenced by subjective norm and perceived behavior control, of which the effect of subjective norm was greater. Consumers’ use of SNS played a notable role in contributing to the strength of the relationship between intention to visit and subjective norm. Promoters and marketers of sustainable tourism can use the results to make more effective decisions in their businesses.

Aging Well

The predictive value of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) on intention and physical activity (PA) over time was examined. Data from the Aging Well and Healthily intervention program (targeting perceived behavioral control and attitude, not subjective norm) were analyzed, including pretest (T0), posttest (T1, except subjective norm) and 4–6 months follow-up (T2, PA outcomes only) (N = 387, M age 72 years). Structural equation modeling was used to test a TPB model. PA was measured subjectively using the Voorrips sports subscale (T0 and T2), items measured perceived increase in PA (T1), and adherence to exercises (T1 and T2). Model fit was good. The TPB explained variation in intention well (R2 .54–.60) and some PA behavior (R2 .13–.16). The intervention successfully got participants to exercise independent of the measured TPB concepts. More TPB studies in the context of interventions are needed.

Purpose This study aims to test the utility of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) for explaining intention to eat a healthful diet in a sample of Southeastern US office workers. Design/methodology/approach Participants in a worksite nutrition study (n = 357) were invited to complete an online questionnaire including measures of TPB constructs at baseline. The questionnaire included valid and reliable measures of TPB constructs: behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, control beliefs, attitudes toward behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and intention. Data were collected from 217 participants (60.8 per cent response rate). Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted to test the hypothesized TPB model. Findings The model fit was satisfactory (χ2 = p < 0.0001, RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.91, TLI = 0.90, SRMR = 0.09). All structural relationships between TPB constructs were statistically significant in the hypothesized direction (p < 0.05). Attitude toward behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control were positively associated with intention (R2 = 0.56). Of all TPB constructs, the influence of perceived behavioral control on intention was the strongest (β = 0.62, p < 0.001). Originality/value Based on this sample of Southeastern US office workers, TPB-based interventions may improve intention to eat a healthful diet. Interventions that strengthen perceived control over internal and external factors that inhibit healthful eating may be particularly effective in positively affecting intention to eat a healthful diet, and subsequent food intake.

The primary purpose of this study was to use meta-analysis to statistically examine the utility of the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) for the explanation and prediction of exercise behavior. The results showed that the effect size for the relationships (a) between intention and exercise behavior, attitude and intention, attitude and exercise behavior, perceived behavioral control and intention, and perceived behavioral control and exercise behavior was large; (b) between subjective norm and intention was moderate; and (c) between subjective norm and exercise behavior was zero-order. The results also supported the conclusions that (a) TPB is superior to TRA in accounting for exercise behavior, (b) there is no differences in the ability to predict exercise behavior from proximal and distal measures of intention, and (c) expectation is a better predictor of exercise behavior than intention.

Entrepreneurship among tertiary education graduates is not satisfactory because the current education system makes students tend to be job seekers rather than job creators. The interest in creating jobs from students through entrepreneur is faced with the perception of opportunities to get jobs according to their abilities. This study identify the effect of perceptions of job opportunities and the component of theory of planned behavior on student entrepreneurial interests and behavior. This study sampled 100 undergraduate students from Diponegoro University and used a variance-based structural equation analysis model (SEM-PLS) with Warp PLS 6.0 software. The results obtained from this study indicate that the perceived employability has a significant negative effect on the emergence of entrepreneurial behavior, but does not affect the entrepreneurial intention. Components of the theory of planned behavior, attitudes have a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial interest, subjective norms do not affect both entrepreneurial interest and behavior, while significant behavioral control positively influences both entrepreneurial intention and behavior. The results of this study are expected to be a reference in improving the existing education system at the university level in order to increase graduates choosing entrepreneurial careers.  Wirausaha di kalangan lulusan pendidikan tinggi situasinya belum cukup memuaskan karena sistem pendidikan yang ada saat ini membuat mahasiswa cenderung menjadi pencari kerja bukan pencipta lapangan kerja. Minat menciptakan lapangan kerja melalui wirausaha oleh mahasiswa juga dihadapkan dengan persepsi peluang untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan sesuai dengan kemampuan mereka. Penelitian ini bermaksud mengidentifikasi pengaruh persepsi peluang kerja dan komponen theory of planned behavior terhadap minat maupun perilaku wirausaha mahasiswa. Penelitian ini mengambil sampel dari mahasiswa S1 Universitas Diponegoro sebanyak 100 orang dan menggunakan analisis model persamaan struktural berbasis varian (SEM-PLS) dengan software Warp PLS 6.0. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa persepsi peluang kerja berpengaruh signifikan negatif terhadap munculnya perilaku wirausaha, namun tidak berpengaruh terhadap minat wirausaha. Komponen theory of planned behavior yaitu sikap hanya signifikan berpengaruh positif terhadap minat wirausaha, norma subjektif tidak berpengaruh baik pada minat maupun perilaku wirausaha, sedangkan kontrol perilaku signifikan positif mempengaruhi baik minat maupun perilaku wirausaha. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan bisa menjadi acuan dalam memperbaiki sistem pendidikan yang ada di tingiat universitas agar menambah lulusannya memilih karir wirausaha.

Η βιομηχανική οικολογία αποτελεί μία στρατηγική προσέγγιση η οποία επιδιώκει να μειώσει τις περιβαλλοντικές επιπτώσεις των ανθρωπίνων παρεμβάσεων εφαρμόζοντας τις βασικές αρχές των φυσικών οικοσυστημάτων στις βιομηχανικές διαδικασίες. Στο ευρύ φάσμα των ερευνητικών αξόνων και διαθέσιμων εργαλείων που τη χαρακτηρίζουν εντάσσεται, μεταξύ άλλων, η Διευρυμένη Ευθύνη του Παραγωγού (ΔΕΠ), προϊόντων αλλά και αποβλήτων.Σύμφωνα με τον Οργανισμό Οικονομικής Συνεργασίας και Ανάπτυξης (ΟΟΣΑ), η ΔΕΠ αποτελεί περιβαλλοντική πολιτική, σύμφωνα με την οποία, η ευθύνη του παραγωγού ενός προϊόντος για το προϊόν του επεκτείνεται και στο μετα-καταναλωτικό στάδιο του κύκλου ζωής του συγκεκριμένου προϊόντος και φτάνει μέχρι την τελική του διάθεση. Οι συσκευασίες και τα απόβλητα συσκευασιών αποτέλεσαν ένα από τα πρώτα ρεύματα αποβλήτων επί των οποίων εφαρμόστηκε σταδιακά η συγκεκριμένη πολιτική, όπως σχεδιάστηκε και αναπροσαρμόσθηκε από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση (ΕΕ). Για την Ελλάδα, ως κράτος-μέλος της ΕΕ, η επιρροή του κοινοτικού δικαίου είναι καταλυτική. Ειδικότερα, σε θέματα περιβαλλοντικού ενδιαφέροντος η ενσωμάτωση αντίστοιχων ευρωπαϊκών οδηγιών αποτελεί πάγια εθνική πρακτική και το κυριότερο ίσως κίνητρο υιοθέτησης και εφαρμογής πολιτικών περιβαλλοντικής προστασίας.Στην παρούσα διατριβή, υπό το προαναφερθέν θεωρητικό και νομικό πλαίσιο, διερευνάται η συμμετοχή των Ελλήνων πολιτών στην ανακύκλωση των ξηρών Ανακυκλώσιμων Αστικών Στερεών Αποβλήτων (ΑΑΣΑ), που περιλαμβάνουν τα απόβλητα συσκευασίας και το έντυπο χαρτί. Η διερεύνηση της συμμετοχής αφορά στο σύστημα της Ελληνικής Εταιρείας Αξιοποίησης Ανακύκλωσης (ΕΕΑΑ) και πραγματοποιείται μέσω δύο διαφορετικών προσεγγίσεων.Η πρώτη προσέγγιση αξιοποιεί συγκεντρωτικά δεδομένα που σχετίζονται με οικονομικά, κοινωνικά και δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά του πληθυσμού των εμπλεκόμενων Χωρικών Ενοτήτων (ΧΕ), καθώς και λειτουργικά χαρακτηριστικά του συστήματος της ΕΕΑΑ. Στο κλασσικό ερμηνευτικό μοντέλο γραμμικής παλινδρόμησης που διερευνήθηκε, επιλέχθηκε ως εξεταζόμενη (εξαρτημένη) μεταβλητή η «ετήσια κατά κεφαλή ποσότητα συλλεγόμενων ΑΑΣΑ». Ως τελικό αποτέλεσμα προκύπτει ότι ο συντελεστής προσδιορισμού R2 είναι υψηλός (R2 = 0,637), για το κλασσικό μοντέλο παλινδρόμησης, γεγονός που σημαίνει ότι περίπου το 64% της συνολικής διακύμανσης της ετήσιας κατά κεφαλή συλλογής ΑΑΣΑ εξηγείται από τις ερμηνευτικές μεταβλητές του μοντέλου. Αντίστοιχα, το τοπικό μοντέλο, που προκύπτει από την εφαρμογή της χωρικά σταθμισμένης παλινδρόμησης ενισχύει ελαφρά το συντελεστή προσδιορισμού μέχρι την τιμή R2 = 0,660 ή 66%.Η δεύτερη προσέγγιση βασίζεται σε δεδομένα που συγκεντρώθηκαν μέσω προσωπικών, δια ζώσης, συνεντεύξεων με τη χρήση έντυπου δομημένου ερωτηματολογίου. Με τον τρόπο αυτό στο χρονικό διάστημα μεταξύ Δεκεμβρίου 2010 και Φεβρουαρίου 2011, επιλέχθηκε ένα «βολικό» δείγμα πληθυσμού (convenience sample). Στην επεξεργασία των δεδομένων και την εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων αξιοποιήθηκαν συνολικά 644 ερωτηματολόγια. Στο πλαίσιο της στατιστικής επεξεργασίας των δεδομένων εφαρμόστηκε η τεχνική των Μοντέλων Δομικών Εξισώσεων (Structural Equation Models – SEM). Σε πρώτη φάση εφαρμόστηκε η «επιβεβαιωτική» ή «επικυρωτική» προσέγγιση (προσέγγιση των συνδιακυμάνσεων) για την ανάλυση των πιθανών σχέσεων μεταξύ των διαθέσιμων μεταβλητών. Ο απώτερος στόχος ήταν η δημιουργία ενός μοντέλου που, βασιζόμενο στα υπάρχοντα θεωρητικά μοντέλα ερμηνείας της πρόθεσης για εκδήλωση κάποιας συμπεριφοράς, όπως η θεωρία της προσχεδιασμένης συμπεριφοράς (Theory of Planned Behavior), θα ερμηνεύει ικανοποιητικά τα διαθέσιμα δεδομένα της έρευνας και τις διακυμάνσεις τους. Σωρευτικά, η ερμηνεία της διακύμανσης της πρόθεσης για ανακύκλωση, με τη συμβολή όλων των ανεξάρτητων μεταβλητών, έφτασε το πολύ ικανοποιητικό ποσοστό του 64%.Στη συνέχεια ακολουθεί η προσέγγιση βάσει διακύμανσης και αναπτύχθηκε ένα συνδυαστικό ολοκληρωμένο μοντέλο για τη διερεύνηση της πρόθεσης για ανακύκλωση, βάσει ενός συνόλου 27 ερευνητικών υποθέσεων. Τα αποτελέσματα που παρουσιάζονται είναι αρκετά ικανοποιητικά, δεδομένης της πολυπλοκότητας του μοντέλου. Όπως διαπιστώνεται, από τους ενδεδειγμένους μεθοδολογικά δείκτες, προκύπτουν ικανοποιητικές ποσοτικές ενδείξεις για την στιβαρότητα, την ερμηνευτική ισχύ και την προβλεπτική ικανότητα του προτεινόμενου μοντέλου, υποστηρίζονται οι 19 από τις 27 ερευνητικές υποθέσεις και ερμηνεύεται ένα υψηλό ποσοστό, το 64% (R2 = 0,640) της διακύμανσης της μεταβλητής-στόχου που είναι η πρόθεση για ανακύκλωση.Τελική επιδίωξη της παρούσας διατριβής είναι τα γενικότερα αποτελέσματα της και το προτεινόμενο συνδυαστικό μοντέλο να αποτελέσουν τμήμα ενός ευρύτερου περιβαλλοντικού συστήματος υποστήριξης λήψης αποφάσεων που θα οδηγήσει στην αξιολόγηση και πιθανή βελτίωση του υφιστάμενου συστήματος ανακύκλωσης συσκευασιών και στην κατάθεση μίας ολοκληρωμένης και εμπεριστατωμένης πρότασης για άσκηση πολιτικής στον εν λόγω χώρο.
