| Abstract |
Renovation waste generated during urbanisation poses a multitude of environmental and social problems, so it is essential to find efficient and effective renovation waste management (RWM) strategies to deal with it. Pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) of employees in the workplace is one of the critical strategies to improve RWM, and evidence from previous studies shows that PEB is influenced by external supervision and corporate environmental responsibility (CER). This study proposes a conceptual model comprising nine hypotheses to examine the impact of external supervision on the CER of renovation contractors, and the PEB of renovation employees in RWM and the role played by CER in the relationship between external supervision and PEB. The pro-posed model was tested using the structural equation modelling approach based on collected questionnaire data. Results reveal that CER and two types of external supervision, public supervi-sion, and environmental regulation, play a vital role in adopting PEB for RWM. Furthermore, CER has a significant mediating effect on the relationship between public supervision, media supervi-sion, government supervision, and PEB. The findings of this study can be used by contractors and supervisors of renovation projects to identify effective RWM strategies, and by policymakers and decision-makers to identify specific measures and policies that can improve renovation waste management performance; all of which will contribute to a circular economy and a sustainable society. |
