ENVIRONMENTAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR AND SUSTAINABILITY APPS: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION
- Share to:
Purpose – This study aims to investigate the moderating effect of sustainability app on environmental
citizenship behavior on the basis of norm-activation model.
Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire survey, which comprises five variables (i.e.
awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, personal norms, environmental citizenship behavior
in a private sphere and environmental citizenship behavior in a public sphere) measured through 16 items,
was conducted in the USA by using Amazon Mechanical Turk. With 549 valid respondents’ answers in hand,
the collected data were analyzed applying a multi-group structural equation modelling technique with IBM
SPSS AMOS 23 software program.
Findings – The results revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between awareness of
consequences, ascription of responsibility, personal norms and environmental citizenship behavior in both
private and public sphere. Furthermore, this study attested that sustainability apps utilization has a
moderating effect on the predictors of environmental citizenship behaviors.
Originality/value – Past studies have seldom examined the contribution of mobile apps to environmental
sustainability. This paper enriches the extant academic literature in the field of technology for behavior change, and
bears significant implications on how sustainability apps can be adopted by governments, policymakers,
organizations and teacher educators to engage people and stimulate environmental citizenship behaviors.
