20.500.12556/DKUM-92944-6dbcb322-b3ee-9ae5-2230-67d66e7cb388 Does the education level of consumers influence their recycling and environmental protection attitudes? evidence from Croatia Does the education level of consumers influence their recycling and environmental protection attitudes dokazi iz Hrvaške The empirical link between education and consumption varies depending on contextual factors. Some studies have sought a contemporary understanding of the education-environmental concern connection. Evidence shows that education levels might significantly impact environmental actions. Still, some research shows that the influence of education might not significantly impact green attitudes or depend on various contextual factors. This research explores whether the education level of Croatian consumers statistically influences their attitudes towards environmental care, recycling, and waste disposal. It aims to determine whether there exists a statistically significant difference in attitudes among consumers with varying levels of education. By exploring this relationship, the article aims to shed light on the potential role of education in shaping environmentally friendly behaviours. By addressing this research gap and examining the specific case of Croatia, the article aims to contribute to the broader understanding of how education influences environmental consciousness and action, ultimately contributing to global efforts for a more sustainable future. Empirična povezava med izobrazbo in porabo se razlikuje glede na kontekstualne dejavnike. Nekatere študije so preučevale povezavo med izobraževanjem in skrbjo za naravno okolje. Dokazi kažejo, da lahko stopnja izobrazbe pomembno vpliva na okoljska dejanja. Kljub temu nekatere raziskave kažejo, da izobrazba morda ne vpliva bistveno na t.i. zeleno vedenje ali pa je slednje odvisno od različnih kontekstualnih dejavnikov. Ta študija raziskuje ali stopnja izobrazbe hrvaških porabnikov vpliva na njihov odnos do skrbi za naravno okolje, recikliranje in odstranjevanje odpadkov. Njen cilj je ugotoviti, ali obstaja statistično pomembna razlika v stališčih med porabniki z različno stopnjo izobrazbe. Z raziskovanjem te povezave želi članek osvetliti potencialno vlogo izobrazbe pri oblikovanju okolju prijaznega vedenja. Z odpravo te raziskovalne vrzeli in preučitvijo posebnega primera Hrvaške želi članek prispevati k širšemu razumevanju vpliva izobrazbe na okoljsko zavest in ravnanje porabnikov ter s tem prispevati k svetovnim prizadevanjem za bolj trajnostno prihodnost. consumer behaviorđ recycling environmental protection waste management Croatia vedenje porabnikov recikliranje varstvo okolja ravnanje z odpadki Hrvaška true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-05-28 10:03:16 2025-05-28 10:03:16 2025-06-06 03:06:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 str. 51-61 no. 4 Vol. 69 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-12-25 366:502.17(497.5) 189326339 10.2478/ngoe-2023-0023 0547-3101 https://journals.um.si/index.php/oe/article/view/3392 1 36c8b752-3b9a-11f0-a3df-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=191341 https://journals.um.si/index.php/oe/article/view/3392 1 d6a3f670-4213-11f0-9cf0-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=191819 RAZ_Mandaric_Doroteja_2023.pdf RAZ_Mandaric_Doroteja_2023.pdf 1 4DA5E4F01C736D800C80595A1214501C ffd3653c6b2d893157b2de58efa9c842bff253ee8c656ba7e2d09c604fa7e641 97459e47-3b9a-11f0-a3df-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=191342 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta Naše gospodarstvo 0 0 0
