چکیده

هدف اصلی این تحقیق کاربردی، تبیین رفتار محیط‌زیستی کشاورزان شهرستان قروه در استان کردستان و عوامل مؤثر بر آن می‌باشد. اطلاعات موردنیاز پژوهش، با روش پیمایشی و با استفاده از ابزار پرسش‌نامه گردآوری شدند. داده‌های گردآوری‌شده به‌وسیله نرم‌افزارهای SPSS و PLS و با رویکرد مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری مورد تجزیه تحلیل قرار گرفتند. جامعه آماری تحقیق، شامل 12845 کشاورزان شهرستان قروه بودند که با استفاده از جدول کرجسی و مورگان ابتدا حجم نمونه 374  نفر مشخص‌شده سپس تعداد نمونه‌ها در هر روستا با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی و با انتساب متناسب تعیین گردیدند. یافته‌ها نشان دادند که رابطه مثبت و معنی‌داری بین متغیرهای بیرونی دانش و آگاهی محیط‌زیستی، هنجارهای ذهنی، نگرانی‌های محیط‌زیستی، نگرش محیط‌زیستی کشاورزان با نیت یا تمایل به رفتار محیط‌زیستی آنها وجود دارد که متغیر نگرانی‌های محیط‌زیستی بیشترین تأثیر مستقیم را بر نیت محیط‌زیستی کشاورزان داشت. نتایج نشان داد که متغیر نیت توانسته است به‌تنهایی 32 درصد متغیر وابسته (رفتار محیط‌زیستی کشاورزان) را تبیین نماید (β=0.32)؛ بنابراین، می‌توان نیت را عاملی مؤثر بر رفتار محیط‌زیستی کشاورزان قلمداد کرد که خود بیشترین تأثیر را از وجود نگرانی‌های محیط‌زیستی بین کشاورزان می‌پذیرد.

The environmental concerns had the most direct effect on the farmers' intention.
