An Empirical Comparison of Environmental Behaviors in China’s Public and Private Sectors

Charakterystyczna segmentacja sektora publiczno-prywatnego w Chinach stanowi wyjątkową okazję do oceny wpływu edukacji ekologicznej. Biorąc pod uwagę, że edukacja ekologiczna od dawna jest obowiązkowo wymagana w sektorze publicznym, w tym w agencjach rządowych i przedsiębiorstwach państwowych, przed sektorem prywatnym, badania koncentrują się na pytaniu, czy na zachowania środowiskowe wpływa przynależność do danego sektora. Przeprowadziliśmy porównanie empiryczne z wykorzystaniem danych z chińskiej wersji General Social Survey z 2013 roku. Wyniki pokazały, że powiązania sektora publicznego i przedsiębiorstwa państwowego (SOE) były w obu przypadkach pozytywnymi predyktorami zachowań środowiskowych. Jednak prywatne zachowania środowiskowe były słabe w przedsiębiorstwach publicznych, a wiedza o środowisku nie miała wystarczającego wpływu na publiczne praktyki środowiskowe. Wyniki te sugerują, że bardziej skuteczny system edukacji ekologicznej jest potrzebny zarówno w sektorach publicznych, jak i dla ogółu społeczeństwa.

Słowa kluczowe:

zachowanie prośrodowiskowe, prywatne i publiczne zachowanie środowiskowe, agencje rządowe, przedsiębiorstwa państwowe (SOE), wiedza środowiskowa, edukacja ekologiczna
