Sustainable Behavior

<p>A large proportion of typical holiday activities are directly dependent on the natural resources at the destination and as these natural areas represent the main resource for many tourism destinations (Dolnicar & Leisch, 2007), destinations are under pressure to protect it. Current efforts to promote pro-environmental behaviors by tourists found largely ineffective. This is partly because the travel context of tourists is often ignored when studying environmentally sustainable behaviors despite the significant impact it can have on tourists’ behavior. Current literature looking at destination image offers limited insight into how (or if) destination image influences environmentally sustainable behavior of tourists outside of product-specific contexts such as eco-tour experiences or green accommodations. To fill this research gap, this thesis examines the role of destination image in influencing tourists' environmentally sustainable (tourism-related) purchasing behavior in New Zealand. </p> <p>This thesis adopted a qualitative approach. The data collection consisted of 25 semi-structured in-depth interviews with international tourists in New Zealand. Data were then analyzed using the framework analysis technique. The analysis focused on three things: (1) how New Zealand is perceived by tourists, (2) tourists’ intentions of behaving environmentally sustainable, and (3) identifying aspects of the destination image that evoke or trigger pro-environmental intentions by tourists. </p> <p>The findings revealed that destination image does play a role in influencing environmentally sustainable purchasing behavior by not only evoking pro-environmental intentions but also providing an encouraging and enabling environment. The characteristics and qualities of New Zealand that were found particularly influential in evoking a sense of responsibility and/or connection towards nature were the fragile environment appeal, dependence on nature, aesthetically pleasing, and unique landscape. Other factors contributing to this were also identified providing a more comprehensive understanding of how the relationship is moderated. These factors were personal factors, habit and routine, contextual factors, personal capabilities, and attitudinal factors. </p> <p>The outcome of this research carries important implications particularly for destination managers and destination marketers wanting to promote environmentally sustainable (tourism-related) purchasing behavior. The complexity of environmentally sustainable behavior and the subjective nature of destination image however require further research, especially in identifying the applicability of this study to other (types of) destinations. </p> <p>Keywords: destination image, environmentally sustainable purchasing behavior, New Zealand </p>

Sustainable Behavior

In the last few years, natural protected areas have been facing great challenges and degradation around the world. Among this, environmental sustainability has become a priority to create harmony between tourists and nature. Tourists visiting protected areas are becoming progressively more concerned regarding the environment. Moreover, the United Nations (UN) “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” have highlighted the potential role of young tourists to contribute to sustainable tourism. However, very few studies have focused on tourists’ environmentally sustainable behavior towards natural protected areas. To fill the existing gap in the literature, this study aims to provide a theoretical framework that includes environmental sustainability awareness (ESA) in measuring millennial tourists’ environmentally sustainable behavior (ESB). Thus, this study delivers an integrated approach based on the value-belief-norm (VBN) theory and the concept of the new ecological paradigm (NEP) towards protected areas. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted from one of the protected areas located in the north of Sichuan province of China, and 511 responses were obtained for statistical analysis. Results of the structural statistical analysis showed that the unified model includes a satisfactory level of predictive power for tourists’ ESB, which was superior to existing theories and concepts. The findings also revealed that all proposed relationships of the variables were significant and identified the positive influence of environmental sustainability awareness in generating the ESB. This study contributes towards sustainable tourism development and the conservation of protected areas, with several practical implications for local authorities in terms of millennial participation.

A nationwide investigation into stress among teachers in the United Kingdom, found teachers to be reporting stress-related problems which were far higher than those of the population norms and other comparable occupational groups. Job stress can be influenced by personal factors (Matteson & Ivancevich, 1999). The present study examined the role of demographic variables as the moderator between organizational variables and job stress. A sample size of 177 teachers participated in this study revealed that teachers in Tawau and Lahad Datu experienced low stress levels. This study found that demographic variables do not serve as the moderator between organizational variables and job stress.

This paper reports part of an ongoing study exploring the information behaviour of New Zealand men during periods of diminished health and wellbeing. Focus groups were used for this iteration of the study. Results indicate that New Zealand men face both personal and structural constraints to their information-seeking during periods when their health and wellbeing may be compromised. This study highlights that service providers need to develop more effective information delivery mechanisms and support services for men. These services need to be appealing to men and reflect men’s information seeking preferences. The role of LIS professionals in supporting this endeavour is discussed. Cet article présente une étude en cours explorant le comportement informationnel d’ hommes néo-zélandais durant des périodes où leur état de santé et de bien-être est amoindri. Des groupes de discussion ont été utilisés pour cette itération de l'étude. Les résultats indiquent que les hommes en Nouvelle-Zélande font face à des contraintes à la fois  personnelles et structurelles dans leur recherche d'information pendant les périodes où leur santé et leur bien-être peuvent être affaiblis. Cette étude met en évidence le besoin pour les fournisseurs de services de développer des mécanismes de diffusion de l'information plus efficaces et des services de soutien pour les hommes. Ces services doivent être attrayants et refléter les préférences des hommes dans leurs recherches d’information. Le rôle des professionnels de l'information dans le soutien à cette entreprise est discuté.
