- Abstract
Environment is one of three pillars of SDGs in addition to economy and society. Human activities have harmed the environment, which must be remedied by humans engaging in pro-environmental behaviors. University can perform a fundamental role in promoting pro-environmental behaviors for sustainable development. This study aims to verify the factors that affect pro-environmental behaviors among students in an Indonesian university so that the university can encourage pro-environmental behaviors. This study used a quantitative approach to investigate the relationship between personal factors, social factors, and environmental factors on students’ pro-environmental behaviors. The results of this study found that there was a positive and significant direct effect between personal factors on pro-environmental behaviors with a coefficient value of 0.307 and p value < 0.05. This means that an increase in personal factors will increase pro-environmental behaviors by 30.70%. There was also a positive and significant direct effect between social factors on pro-environmental behaviors with a coefficient value of 0.611 and p value < 0.05. This means that an increase in social factors will also increase pro-environmental behaviors by 61.10%. All factors simultaneously affect pro-environmental behaviors by 54.1%. As implications of this study, some recommendations to the university are suggested.
