| description | The waste produced swings regardless of individual consumption patterns and social norm variations. People have been required to adapt their everyday dynamics due to the current context imposed by the Covid-19 outbreak. These adaptations in tradition have undoubtedly impacted the environment regarding waste generation and management. Hence, reducing the environmental harm of residential waste through waste segregation and handling is a practical approach. This work used a quantitative method and constructed a research instrument to investigate (398 participants) the determinants influencing Cambodian waste separating intentions and behaviours using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data was collected and analysed using PLS-SEM. The findings suggested that attitudes, social norms, and moral norms significantly impacted the intention to engage in waste separation and, hence, waste separation behaviour. In addition, the intention construct was found to be the most significant determinant of Cambodian social explicit waste sorting behaviour, suggesting that enhancing the intention of waste separation practice substantially affects waste separation behaviour. |
