Abstract

Purpose. Currently, humanity lives in a world where it is hard not to notice the negative environmental changes. Everyone's activity is the primary cause of transformations in the natural environment. To stop the degradation in nature, all representatives of human species need to unite and perform more “ecologically friendly”, rather than destructive actions, but such direction change in behaviour depends on many factors. In this paper, the focus is made on the personality determinants of an individual’s ecological behaviour. The presented article aims to consider the ecological position as the basis for self-efficacy of a subject and subsequent study of possible effects on empirical data. The development stages of ecological self-efficacy are discussed in terms of theoretical analysis depending on the dominant biosphere or financial and economic senses in the ecological position. It has been suggested that ecological self-efficacy of a personality affects the general one. Methods. As a result of empirical analysis, it has been determined that ecological position indirectly affects the general one through the ecological self-efficacy. The assumption has been verified using correlation (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient) and regression (multiple regression) analysis, as well as modelling by structural equations. Results. As a result of statistical analysis, it has been revealed that ecological position indirectly affects the general one through the ecological self-efficiency. Conclusions. It has been determined that depending on the value as life support resource - money or biosphere, people's faith in the productivity decreases or increases in their actions in the field of performing various daily tasks, indirectly through the human confidence in the possibility to improve the ecological situation on the planet by their own and common human actions.
