Abstract

Human activities have led to environmental problems that resulted in changes in the climate and the environment. As such, firms are starting to incorporate environment-friendly food products to help solve this issue. Consequently, the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) addresses the call for action by incorporating in its program curriculums the institutional outcome (#TatakIIT attributes) that relates to being environmentally responsible. Anchored on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study investigates the influencing effects of MSU-IIT students’ awareness of environment-friendly alternatives (EFA), environmental concern, functionality of EFA, and price sensitivity to their green purchase intention (GPI), with attitude towards EFA as a mediating variable. Further, the moderating effect of the socio-demographic factors were explored. Using Partial Least Square - Structural Equations Modeling, the findings of this study suggest that all the independent variables had a significant influence on the attitude towards EFA implying a greater GPI of said alternatives. This provides evidence that when students are aware about green alternatives and have higher environmental concerns, their attitude towards green products are also intensified. However, it must be noted that the functionality of the green alternative and price still play a role which may suggest that despite being aware of EFA and environmentally concerned, the green alternatives must still be reasonably priced and serve their purpose. Attitude towards EFA successfully mediated the four independent variables and GPI, which further confirms the TPB relationships. Thus, students who have positive attitudes towards EFA are the ones who are more likely to show an intent to purchase these alternatives. However, the socio-demographic factors are deemed to have no moderation effect in the relationships between the independent variables and the attitude towards EFA, except for age. Consequently, it moderately impacts the influence of price sensitivity on the attitude towards EFA.

Abstract

As a response against the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), several countries adopted online and modular programs in the educational sector. As these require certain competencies and skills, these changes might have contributed to the stress experienced by the faculty members that could affect their performance. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of occupational stress, measured by the Teacher’s Stress Inventory (TSI), that the faculty members of Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) experienced caused by work-family conflict, lack of training, role ambiguity and role conflict, powerlessness, and intrinsic impoverishment. In addition, the impact of occupational stress on the performance of the faculty members during the school year 2020-2021 is assessed. Anchored on Michigan Model and Performance and Demand Theory of Welford, 114 faculty members were selected as respondents using quota sampling, results showed that faculty members experienced slight stress. These are manifested through minimal or low stress as measured by the manifestations of stress namely emotional, biobehavioral, and physiological-fatigue. On the factors influencing occupational stress, only work-family conflict and lack of training influence occupational stress. Since faculty members cannot enter the campus and work on a work-from-home arrangement, the distinction between office hours and free/family time is almost nonexistent. The shift in the learning modality required a new set of competencies (i.e. technology-based skills) but the sudden shift only allowed a short period of time of training. The results on the factors influencing occupational stress are consistent with the Michigan Model but inconsistent with Welford's Performance and Demand Theory; even if the demand during the pandemic has changed, the faculty experienced slight stress and performed excellently in their work.
