Abstract

Günümüz küresel dünyasında çevresel sürdürülebilirliğin sağlanmasında toplumu oluşturan bireylere önemli görevler düşmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı bireylerin çevresel sorumlu davranışlarının öncülleri olduğu tahmin edilen çevresel tutum, yasal ve ekonomik sorumluluğunun etkilerini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yapılan literatür incelemesi sonucunda çalışma modeli geliştirilmiş ve bu modele ilişkin 9 hipotez oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmanın evreni toplumu oluşturan bireyler ve çalışanlardan oluşmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda 334 kişiden veri toplanmıştır. Çalışma nicel yönteme dayanmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında kullanılan ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğine yönelik keşfedici, doğrulayıcı ve güvenilirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Hipotezlerin analiz edilmesine yönelik basit ve aracı regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda 5 hipotez desteklenmiştir. Çevresel tutum ile çevresel sorumluluk arasında anlamlı ve olumlu ilişkinin olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Gelecekte yapılması planlanan çalışmaların farklı sektörlerde yapılması önerilmektedir. Ayrıca çalışma kapsamında literatüre ve modele uygun olarak geliştirilen hipotezlerin farklı çalışmalarda uygulanması literatüre zenginlik katması açısından oldukça önemlidir. Kesitsel olarak yapılan bu çalışmaya karşılık gelecekte yapılması planlanan araştırmaların boylamsa olarak yapılması daha güvenilir bulgular elde edilmesi açısından gereklidir.

Abstract

In today's global world, important tasks are assigned to the individuals who make up the society in ensuring environmental. The main purpose of this study is to reveal the effects of environmental attitudes, legal and economic responsibility, which are estimated to be the antecedents of individuals' environmentally responsible behaviors. As a result of the literature review conducted for this purpose, the study model was developed and 9 hypotheses related to this model were established. The universe of the study consists of individuals and employees who make up the society. In this direction, data were collected from 334 people. The study is based on the quantitative method. Exploratory, confirmatory and reliability analyses were performed for the construct validity of the scale used in the study. Simple and mediator regression analyzes were performed to analyze the hypotheses. As a result of the analyzes, 5 hypotheses were supported. It dec been found that there is a significant and positive relationship between environmental attitude and environmental responsibility. It is recommended that future studies be carried out in different sectors. In addition, the application of the hypotheses developed in accordance with the literature and the model within the scope of the study in different studies is very important in terms of enriching the literature. Contrary to this cross-sectional study, it is necessary to carry out the studies planned to be done in the future as longitudinal in order to obtain more reliable findings.
