Keywords:
attitude, knowledge, recycling facilities, waste reduction behaviorAbstract
One of the main SDGs programs is a waste reduction to maintain future environmental sustainability. This study examines differences in the waste reduction behavior of female workers at home and in the office. It involved 128 lecturers at four State Islamic universities around East Java through a purposive sampling approach with the criteria of female lecturers who have worked for at least one year with a master's degree in education. After the data were collected, they were tested with paired t-tests. The results demonstrated differences in attitudes towards behavior, subjective norms, knowledge, personal norms, and recycling facilities. Perceived behavioral control is the only variable that did not show any difference in the waste reduction behavior for female workers at home and the office. It implied that the behavior of female workers in waste reduction at home and the office is inconsistent.
