Abstract

The surge in e‐waste production highlights the need to investigate what influences recycling behaviors, ultimately to enhance sustainable management practices. Previous research has explored its psychological antecedents, but there has been limited study on how situational factors of collection centers affect e‐waste recycling behavior.

A survey administered to 700 citizens explores the relationship between convenience and goal‐framing theory components, namely gain, normative, and hedonic goals. Structural equation modeling is employed for analysis. Results reveal that convenience significantly affects e‐waste recycling behaviors through gain (β = −.304, p .05). Furthermore, convenience exhibits a direct impact on e‐waste recycling behaviors (β = .166, p
