The Relationship Among Knowledge, Attitude, and Behavior on Behavior on Energy Conservation of Personal Work for King Mongkut\’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to examine the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior on energy conservation among personnel working for King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and to determine the relationship among knowledge, attitude, and behavior on energy conservation. The subjects participating in this study were 300 supportive staff, out of 1,063. These subjects were selected by a stratified random sampling technique based on the classification of personnel. The instrument used to collect the data was a questionnaire. The descriptive statistics was used to analyze the collected data, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient was employed to test the hypotheses. The results of the study revealed that the subjects rated their level of knowledge of energy conservation at a moderate level. Also, they had a positive attitude toward energy conservation. Regarding their behavior on energy conservation, they rated their practice at a quite good level. In addition, it was found that there was a positive relationship among the subject’s attitude, knowledge, and behavior at a significant level of .01. There was no statistically significant relationship between the subject’s knowledge and their behavior on energy conservation.
