Determinants Of Waste Management Among Malaysian Food Hawkers Business Among Malaysian Food Hawkers Business: A Qualitative Framework

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review the existing literature on determinants that influence food hawkers’ behaviour and to develop a framework that could be beneficial for waste management practice. This paper uses a systematic review of articles on the factors that influence waste management behaviour of food hawkers. The purpose of this systematic review is to collect and summarize all empirical evidence from literature that fits the context of this study. The findings of the study have been weaved together in a proposed qualitative framework for the role of cognitive, emotional, and social factors that in turn influence intention, reaction, and integral factors (i.e., attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control) associated with the intention to use eco-friendly food packaging (EFFP). There are few research-based studies on the determinants of hawkers’ behaviour towards waste management via the usage of EFFP. This paper has identified key variables that play a significant role in helping business practitioners and policy makers perform effectively.
