This project aims to analyze how the theorem of planned behaviors (Planned Behavior / TPB) can affect the intentions and behavior of recycling among civil servants. In the context of sustainability and waste management, recycling is an important part of the effort to reduce environmental impact. However, despite the importance of recycling has been widely recognized, participation rates in recycling are still low. Therefore, understanding these psychological factors that affect these intentions and behaviors is crucial to designing more effective interventions.

The background of this project focuses on how individuals believe—like attitude, subjective norm, and acceptable behavioral control—It can affect their decision to engage in recycling activities. Planning Behavioral Theory suggests that the individual's intention to do an act is influenced by their attitude towards the actions, the social norms that are all around them, and their perception of the ability to do that. In this study, the Structural Equation Modeling model is used to analyze the relationship between these factors and its effect on the recycling behavior of civil servants.

The primary purpose of this project is to identify the psychological factors that affect the most of the intent and recycling behavior among civil servants and to test how well the TPB models describe the decision-making process associated with recycling. The project also aims to give a deeper insight into how behavioral-based policies can be designed to improve participation in recycling at work.

The expected impact of this project is a better development of understanding of factor- factors that affect environmental behavior, especially recycling, and policy recommendations that can be applied to promote recycling behavior among civil servants. By raising intentions and participation in recycling, it is expected to create a positive impact on waste management and environmental sustainability in the government sector.
