Influence of pro-environmental behaviour towards the implementation of construction and demolition waste management
摘要
Researchers worldwide have employed a varied array of sources to evaluate the successful management of construction and demolition waste. However, limited research has been undertaken in the behaviour of construction engineers towards the implementation of construction and demolition waste management despite the mounting multipronged detrimental impacts that subsequently leave a large gap amidst the availability of effective management techniques. This study unified the constructs namely the knowledge of construction and demolition waste management planning, knowledge about recycling, knowledge about effects of construction and demolition waste management, challenges in managing construction and demolition waste and legal awareness of construction and demolition waste management to predict the intention to implement construction and demolition waste management. A sample size consisting of 401 construction engineers were selected for the study. The data were analysed with the use of two-stage structural equation modelling. Further, the moderation effect of environmental responsibility and environmental concern on the intention to implement construction and demolition management was estimated using multiple regression analyses individually. The results of the present study offers theoretical and practical implications that assuages the negative impacts of construction and demolition waste.
