INVESTIGATING THE PREDICTORS OF INTENTION TO PARTICIPATE IN e-WASTE RECYCLING AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A CASE OF UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA TERENGGANU
ELDONNA JOE JOBIT1, OLAWOLE FAWEHINMI2.
E-waste is an existential problem for the environment and its inhabitants. This study intends to examine the relationship between Environmental Concern (EC), Perceived Behaviour Control (PBC), and Attitude (ATT) toward the intention to practice e-waste recycling (ERI) among students in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). Data was collected from 446 students by using a non-probability sampling technique. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM 4.0) was used for the analysis of the structural model. The analysis of data from 446 questionnaires revealed that EC, PBC, and ATT significantly influence students’ ERI, with ATT having the strongest influence. This research may aid policymakers in gaining a greater comprehension of students’ intention to participate in e-waste recycling. This is very helpful in paving the way for a successful e-waste recycling and management system not only at UMT but also in other states in Malaysia and other countries with similar e-waste issues.
