Abstract

This study was aimed at finding out the confirmatory information from the Hungerford and Volk (1990) model regarding the effect of personal investment, personal commitment, locus of control, intention to act, and citizenship behavior toward the environment. A survey method was used by involving 185 generation Z students as sample in this study. There were five instruments in this study for measuring citizenship behavior toward the environment (21 items, reliability .917), personal investment (28 items, reliability .947), personal commitment (30 items, reliability .938) Locus of control (30 items, reliability .923 ) and intention to act (24 items, reliability .945). Data was analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, inferential statistics for linearity test and path analysis. The results revealed that citizenship behavior toward the environment significantly affected directly personal investment, personal commitment, locus of control and intention to act. Moreover, it was also found that citizenship behavior toward the environment significantly affected indirectly by personal investment and personal commitment through locus of control and intention to act. Based on those findings, it can be concluded that variations in citizeship behavior toward the environment of generation Z are affected by variations in personal investment, personal commitment, locus of control and intention to act. It means that locus of control and intention to act are suitable mediator variables for personal investment and personal commitment to citizenship behavior toward the environment. © 2019, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development.
