Abstract

This research aimed to develop a model of green behavior for sustaining green school. A questionnaire was used as the main tool for data collection from 275 students in levels four to six at Mahasarakharm University Demonstration School (Elementary) in the 2014 academic year. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for model verification. It was revealed that the exogenous variables, i.e., Environmental Education (EE) and Environmental Management (EM) could influence, through Inspiration of Public Mind (IPM), Green Behavior (GB) for 92.00 percent. Additionally,EE affected GB the most. Moreover, the exogenous variables of EE and EM were able to account for 78.00 percent variation in IPM while EE affected IPM the most.
