The Impact of User Attitude, Waste Education and Recycling on Sustainable Organizational Development of Waste Industry: Exploratory Factor Analysis

Isiaka Ilori Bolaji, Fakhrul Anwar Zainol

Abstract

The implications of double in waste generation as a result of population increases, affect user attitudes, due to lack of waste education and recycling for sustainable organizational development. Further highlights the effect of indiscriminate disposal by users in an open area such as drainage systems, waterways, and undeveloped lands. The persistence of this problem, exacerbated by insufficient recycling facilities, and lack of waste education underscores the urgency of advancing solid waste management techniques within the framework of sustainable development. This study aimed to assess users' attitudes, waste education and waste recycling on sustainable organizational development of the waste management industry in Nigeria. In this study integration of environmental responsibility behavior theory and organization learning theory is important, the study employed a quantitative approach, a face-to-face questionnaire gathered from 487 Managing directors who are waste contractors (PSP), 100 participants were randomly selected from the target population area for a pilot study. The statistical package for social science (SPSS) is employed to analyze the findings. The results through exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach Alpha for internal reliability show that user attitudes, waste education and waste recycling significantly influence sustainable organizational development in the waste management industry which underscores the critical need for policy intervention. Therefore, advocates for environmental education and enhancing commitment to boost the waste management industry to bridge the gap also require further study. The finding provides a viable blueprint for enhancing commitment from policymakers, top management, individuals, and responsibility awareness for sustainability in the face of escalating waste challenges.
