Examining the Influence of Locus of Control on Citizenship Behavior: The Mediating Role of Naturalistic Intelligence in Urban Sustainability

/in /by

This study aims to examine the relationship between Locus of Control (LOC), Naturalistic Intelligence (NI), and Behavioral Citizenship (BC) in the context of sustainable cities in Indonesia. The primary objective is to investigate how LOC influences BC and the mediating role of NI in this relationship. The research was conducted in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, with a sample of 200 participants. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, and analysis was performed using Path Analysis with SmartPLS software. The key findings demonstrate that LOC positively impacts both NI and BC, with NI serving as a significant mediator between LOC and BC. Individuals with a high sense of control over their lives and strong naturalistic intelligence are more likely to engage in pro-environmental and community-oriented behaviors. These findings underscore the importance of psychological factors in promoting sustainable citizenship behaviors. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the role of naturalistic intelligence as a crucial mediator in the relationship between personal control and active citizenship. It also offers practical insights for urban policymakers and community leaders, emphasizing the need to incorporate environmental education and psychological empowerment into urban sustainability programs to foster greater community engagement and responsibility.

This study investigates the impact of Pro-Environmental School Culture (PESC) on Green School Implementation (GSI), with Students’ Environmental Awareness (SEA) serving as a mediating variable. The primary objective is to understand how a supportive school culture influences student awareness and the effective implementation of green initiatives. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 175 high school students through a structured questionnaire, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that PESC significantly influences GSI, highlighting that schools with a strong environmental culture are more successful in implementing sustainable practices. Additionally, PESC positively impacts SEA, indicating that a pro-environmental culture enhances students’ awareness of environmental issues. The results further demonstrate that SEA mediates the relationship between PESC and GSI, confirming that increased environmental awareness among students is crucial for the success of green initiatives. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from Indonesian schools, emphasizing the interconnectedness of school culture, student awareness, and environmental practices. The implications suggest that educational institutions should prioritize fostering a pro-environmental culture to enhance student engagement and promote sustainability. Moreover, policymakers are encouraged to support schools in integrating environmental education and initiatives, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for Indonesia.
