摘要

The study examines the ethical influence of Pentecostal religious beliefs on environmental consciousness among university students in Nigeria, a topic underexplored in the context of developing countries. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the research investigates how Pentecostal religious beliefs shape environmental attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control (PBC), and environmental consciousness. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 213 students from Pentecostal campus fellowships, and data were analysed using SmartPLS structural equation modelling. The findings reveal that Pentecostal religious beliefs predict all TPB constructs, with subjective norms and PBC mediating their effect on environmental consciousness. The study contributes to understanding how faith-based values influence pro-environmental behaviour and offers insights for policymakers, educators, and religious organizations seeking to foster sustainability among youth.
