A total of 218 questionnaires collected out of 387 questionnaires distributed, indicating 56.33% of return. The method applied in the study includes T-test, simple regression and hierarchical regression (test mediation effects). There are four main results in this study.

Second, Regression analysis shows, staffs only rank economic benefit as their environmental concern toward energy consumption whereas student rank self-efficacy as their higher environmental concern followed by economic benefit and rule and regulation. Third, regression analysis shows environmental concern does have relationship with energy consumption. Last but not least, the mediation effect shows awareness and energy consumption is mediated by environmental concern. 2014-01 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53713/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53713/1/NurhidayahAhmad%40MahusinMFM2014.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:85366 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Management Faculty of Management
