| description | Environmental volunteering is a form of unpaid helping behaviour that benefits the
environment and a prosocial action that need support from government to ensure the
objectives of environmental volunteerism reach its goal. Volunteerism has been a key
of the global environmental movement by mobilizing communities in the world to help
address environmental problems as protecting the environment is the responsibility of
everyone in the community. NGOs act as bridge that linked the government support
and the communities. This study is a mixed study that explored the government
support towards environmental volunteering participation by analysing the data from
verbatim responses of 10 individuals and questionnaire answered by 119 respondents
that have participated in environmental volunteering activities. The results reveal that
there are two elements of the government support towards environmental volunteering
participation in Malaysia which is through incentives and education. The mean for
this analysis is 6.95 with standard deviation of 2.404. The findings of the study
indicate that environmental volunteerism should be a requirement in environmental
education as it is seen as an encouragement for environmental conservation practices
and volunteerism. |
