Abstract

The present research attempts to study the energy saving behaviour among individuals in two different contexts: at home and at the workplace. The study proposed and tested a model in which, value orientation, environmental concern, perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) and personal norm to have an influence on the energy saving behaviour. A total of 359 usable responses was collected via an online survey in India. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The findings reported that the altruistic value positively influences the environmental concern, PCE and personal norm which further influences the energy saving behaviour at home (SBH). However, PCE was not found to have any significant impact on individuals' energy saving behaviour in the workplace. Further, a significant difference between individual energy saving behaviour at two different contexts was also reported. Based on the findings of the study, implications for energy savings are also discussed.

两种不同背景下个体的节能行为：分析个体在家庭和工作场所的节能行为

本研究试图研究个人在两种不同背景下的节能行为：在家中和在工作场所。该研究提出并测试了一个模型，其中价值取向、环境关注、感知消费者有效性（PCE）和个人规范对节能行为有影响。通过在印度进行的一项在线调查，共收集到359份可用回复。使用结构方程模型对数据进行了分析。研究结果表明，利他主义价值观对环境关注、PCE和个人规范有正向影响，进而影响家庭节能行为（SBH）。然而，PCE并没有对个人在工作场所的节能行为产生任何重大影响。此外，还报告了两种不同环境下个体节能行为之间的显著差异。根据研究结果，还讨论了对节能的影响。
