Pro-Environmental Behaviour Of Seafarers In Relation To Environmental Attitudes And Leadership

Abstract

Human work activities are ongoing and evolving. These activities can often affect the preservation of the natural environment. Indonesia's vast sea area makes many work activities related to the sea, including shipping activities. Shipping activities that are increasing in addition to providing social and economic benefits, on the other hand, can also cause problems related to the condition of marine environmental sustainability. Seafarers are one of the key factors in helping to preserve the marine environment, so it is necessary for seafarers to raise awareness of work behaviours that support the sustainability of the marine environment. In the context of work, pro-environmental behaviour can be defined as a series of work activities completed by employees in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner. Attitudes about the environment and environmental leadership are factors that can theoretically influence employees' pro-environmental behaviour in the work setting. This study examines how pro-environmental behaviour models in Indonesian seafarers in terms of attitudes about the environment and leadership both directly and through the mediation of proenvironmental behavioural intentions. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that attitudes about the environment and leadership have a direct influence on pro-environmental behaviour in seafarers. Both factors also have an influence on the intention to behave environmentally, where in the end the intention to behave environmentally can encourage the emergence of pro-environmental behaviour in seafarers.
