Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the fadors influencing individual recycling behavior through a survey of 255 public officials and 254 housewives in Korea. A structural equation model was constructed with nine variables, and the LISREL method was employed in this analysis. The analysis results show that the variables such as environmental concern, knowledge of recycling, social norms and lifestyle intluenced the recycling behavior of public officials, while that of housewives was intluenced by the variables of age, income level, intrinsic satisfaction, waste treatment facilities, knowledge of recycling and lifestyle. In analyzing the results, the economic motive variable needed careful interpretation. And implications for recycling programs are discussed.
