Intrinsic Satisfaction Derived from Office Recycling Behavior: A Case Study in Taiwan
Lee, Y.-J., de Young, R. (1994). Intrinsic satisfaction derived from office recycling behavior: A case study in Taiwan. Social Indicators Research, 31, 1, 63-76.
Examined the dimensionality of intrinsic satisfaction (INS) and, using a path analysis technique, explored the causal relationships between INS and office recycling behavior (ORB). Data from field surveys conducted in 32 different organizations in Taiwan were analyzed. 15 organizations had recycling programs and 17 did not. Findings indicate that there are at least 2 distinct factors regarding INS: participation and frugality. Ss reported deriving a personal pleasure or enjoyment from carrying out ORB. These satisfactions are likely measures of the respondent's intrinsic motive to conserve in the office setting.
