Environmental degradation is a serious global issue that has received increasing attention from scholars, policymakers, regulators, environmental activists, and the public as a whole. In the meantime, corporations have been criticized as major contributors to environmental pollution. Environmental accounting (EA) is a corporate practice that seeks to account for the cost of environmental impacts of business operations. However, it is questionable whether the true cost of environmental impacts of business operations is accounted for in the conventional accounting systems. In order to shed more light on this issue, this study examines key drivers of managerial intention to engage in EA practices in Sri Lanka. We employ the theory of planned behavior to conceptualize the antecedents of managers’ intention to engage in EA practices. The results of the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) evaluation revealed that managers’ intention is significantly influenced by the attitudes towards EA practices, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Our results also indicate that a larger proportion of the variance of perceived behavioral control is explained by the perceived cost and complexity, perceived regulatory pressure, and organizational environmental orientation. The findings of this study provide important theoretical and practical implications for scholars, managers, and policymakers.

Data diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan Structural Equation Model – Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) dengan bantuan software SmartPLS 3.0. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa attitude berpengaruh signifikan positif terhadap perceived desirability, dan injunctive norm serta perceived behavioral control berpengaruh signifikan positif terhadap perceived feasibility. Hasil analisis juga menunjukkan bahwa perceived desirability dan perceived feasibility berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap niat mahasiswa akuntansi berwirausaha. Implikasi praktis dan teoritis dibahas lebih lanjut berdasarkan hasil analisis yang ada.

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 results showed that the following factors are price, quality, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have an effect to the decreased purchase attitude and intention buy organic vegetables. So, it can be a strategy for selling and consuming organic vegetables in the future.

This study aimed to determine the influence of variables in TPB (attitude toward behavior, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm), religiosity, knowledge, and risk perception to intention purchase of sharia mutual fund. The sample in this study was customer of Bank Sharia XYZ of 164 customers. The analysis applied in this study was Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square. The result of this research showed that the independent variable had positive and significant influence to dependent variables attitude toward behavior and subjective norm. Religiosity and knowledge have no significant influence toward intention to purchase, while perceived behavioral control and risk perception had no significant influence with intention to purchases. The other result showed that religiosity had a positive significant influence to attitude toward behavior. The conclusion of this research shown that religiosity is the factor which influence attitude toward behavior, attitude toward behavior and subjective norm are the factors which influence intention purchase of sharia mutual fund.

In recent years consumer behaviour plays an important role on influencing customers' preferences to use a financing service. Contemporary consumers are becoming more selective in their choices, as they are more well-informed of a particular product or service. This research investigates the decision-making process which influence customers in choosing a financing service, by analysing the influence of religiosity, TPB (attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control), and product attribute that drives customers' intent in choosing financial services in sharia multifinance. To address this notion, we collected sample feedback from 160 respondents, who are active customers of Unit Usaha Syariah (UUS) multifinance ABC. The methododology used in this research is Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The result shows that factors such as religiosity, attitude towards behavior, subjective norms and product attribute affect consumers' intention in purchasing a financing service. On the other hand, perceived behavioral control has no significant influence on consumers' decision-making. Therefore, it is imperative for those involved in the sharia multifinance industry to gain more insight in order to perceive market opportunities based on consumer behavior by developing suitable marketing strategies in order to capture their interest to opt for financing services in sharia multifinance. Keywords: Consumer behaviour, religiosity, TPB, attribute product, sharia multifinance

Online web technologies are adopted to improve students' collaborative work. However, the factors that affect students' engagement in online collaboration (e-collaboration) have not been understood in previous studies. This research aimed to examine the extent to which students' intentions to e-collaborate can be explained by the theory of planned behavior. A sample of secondary and tertiary students was used (N = 175). The results from the partial least square approach to structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) indicated that the path coefficients of the relationships partially reinforced the a priori construction of the hypothesized model. In brief, attitudes toward e-collaboration and subjective norms were positively and significantly related to e-collaborative intentions, while perceived behavioral control indirectly predicted e-collaborative intentions via perceived e-collaborative performance. Research and practical implications have been presented in the paper.

This study used descriptive and verification methods with a quantitative approach. The sample used in this study were 412 Muslim women with an age range of 15-64 years which were taken by purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) method. The results of this research showed that attitude, subjective norm, religiosity, knowledge, and halal labeling have positive and significant impacts on purchasing decisions, while the perceptions of behavior control have no significant impacts on purchasing decisions. This finding showed that the purchase decision of halal cosmetic products of Muslim consumers can be influenced by several factors, and halal labeling has a greater influence. This study also reveals that some Muslim consumers do not know the halal label of a product. This research contributes to encouraging cosmetic companies that do not yet have halal certification to apply for halal certification and this finding is also a reference for the government to require halal certificates for cosmetic products.</span></p><p dir="ltr"> </p><p dir="ltr"><span>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku konsumen Muslim Jawa Barat dalam keputusan pembelian produk kosmetik halal, yang meliputi factor sikap, norma subjektif, persepsi kontrol perilaku, religiusitas, pengetahuan, dan labelisasi halal.
