This research investigates consumers’ attitude towards the acceptance of a sustainable product (SP). The current research on consumers’ behaviour mainly focuses on “determinants” or “factors” affecting attitudes, while; this research offers a parallel shift, focusing on consumers’ attitude influencing the acceptance of a sustainable product. Three main variables undergo in-depth examination: consumers’ attitudes (CA), consumers’ persuasion (CP) and consumers’ ethics (CE). This study develops a model of sustainability, considering the strengths and limitations of existing models. The theoretical framework for this study is based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), the attribution theory (AT) and the Thompson & Barton environmental attitudes model (EAM)

Global pandemics are not a new phenomenon. They have occurred at different points in time and can be of different scales. COVID-19 appeared in 2020 and its spread has reached more than 60 countries worldwide. This research aims to analyze voluntary self-isolation behavior used to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this study, we carried out sampling in Colombia and Spain, which share similar cultural characteristics but which have substantial social and economic differences. A multi-group model was used to test the application of the theory of planned behavior and the theory of reasoned action in order to analyze self-isolation behavior. The results show that there are differences in self-isolation behavior between both countries, especially with regard to attitudes towards self-isolation and volitional behavior.

Furthermore, the effective sharing of knowledge is one of the most important success factors in an organization. This study aims at predicting the staff’s sharing of knowledge in the central library of the University of Isfahan. The conceptual framework for this study is consisted of the completed model of Theory of Reasoned Action. The statistical population of the current study contains the staffs of central library in university of Isfahan out of which 160 participants were studied by the census method. For the validity evaluation of the model, the structural equations model was applied and based on the results of path analysis relationship between research variables it was confirmed. The research results show that the expected organizational reward, reciprocal benefits, self-efficacy of knowledge, and enjoyment in helping others affect attitude and intention for the sharing of knowledge. The research findings indicate the positive impact of subjective norms on knowledge sharing intentions.

While many studies have attempted to understand knowledge-sharing practices in the health-care industry, there is a dearth of knowledge about the determinants of the knowledge-sharing behaviour of pharmacists. The present study employed theory of planned behaviour constructs and personality traits to assess factors affecting the knowledge-sharing behaviour of pharmacists in Oyo State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, with the use of a structured questionnaire as the data collection instrument. Relevant descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were carried out on the collected data. The findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, openness to experience, agreeableness and knowledge-sharing behaviour. This implies that pharmacists whose personality traits tend towards openness to experience and agreeableness will share their knowledge more readily than those whose personality traits do not. Also, pharmacists’ knowledge-sharing behaviour can be enhanced through improvements in their attitude towards knowledge sharing, subjective norms and their perceived behavioural control.

Vaccination, which is often seen as a health policy intervention, has proven to be the most effective at reducing the spread of infectious diseases globally. However, the perception of anti-vaccines, misunderstanding of information related to vaccines, and even doubts about vaccines are still common in the community—no exception related to the COVID-19 global vaccination. Therefore, we need a study that can answer the determinant variable of the COVID-19 vaccination intention, especially in Indonesia. This study answers how personal attitude, subjective norm, and perceived feasibility with religious and media literacy moderation influence the public intention in using the COVID-19 vaccine in Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative research approach, with an explanative research type. We used Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), and Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DPTB) as a determinant model with a variable of religiosity and media literacy as a moderating variable for the intention of vaccination COVID-19 in Central Java. This research was conducted in Central Java Province as one of the provinces with the largest population and one of Indonesia's largest number of COVID-19 cases. Data collection was carried out online and offline with 100 respondents.


Due to practical limitation found in the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) such as an inability to cater to non-volitional behaviour towards performing certain actions, the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was developed in 1985. The main purpose of TPB was to improve the predictive power of TRA to be more applicable to any kinds of behavioural attitude and intention to involve in all type behavioural acts. Findings reflect the needs to carry out some elicitation study on antecedents of attitude, subjective norms, and even perceived behavioural control of the model. This chapter addresses the external influence such as self-efficacy and facilitating condition used as the determinants of perceive behavioural control. As such, attempts were made to pragmatically utilise the theory in research settings by many scholars as well as in this present book.
