Özet:

 

This paper outlines the procedure undertaken to validate a scale measuring the  relationships between long-term and political orientation, and environmental  intentions and behaviour as a four dimensional structure in the South African  context. The data was gathered using a self-administered questionnaire from a  convenience sample of 329 students registered at four public higher education  institutions in South Africa. The four higher public institutions comprised one  university of technology, one comprehensive university and two traditional  universities. The questionnaire consisted of scales intended to measure long-term  orientation, political orientation, environmental purchase intentions and green  purchase behaviour. Pearson’s Product-Movement correlation and structural  equation modelling were the methods of analysis of the captured data. The  proposed measurement model of long-term and political orientation, and  environmental intentions and behaviour being a four dimensional structure  revealed good internal-consistency reliability, composite reliability and construct  validity. Furthermore, AMOS produced a well-fitting model represented by  acceptable goodness-of-fit indices. The results of the measurement model suggest  that long-term orientation, political orientation, environmental purchase intention  and green purchase behaviour are four suitable dimensions for the use of path  analysis in structural equation modelling.
