Environmentally friendly behavior has become increasingly important in recent years to reduce the speed of climate change and its negative impacts. Individual behavior, including environmentally friendly behavior, is largely formed by behavioral intentions. This study draws on the theory of planned behavior to examine the effects of attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on intentions of environmentally friendly behavior. It also investigates differences between genders and among sports. The study is based on data from a nationwide online survey of community sports club members in Germany in five team/racket sports ( = 3,036). Existing measures to operationalize the constructs were adapted to the present research context. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that the theoretical assumptions of the theory of planned behavior were largely supported by the data, implying that the antecedents of environmentally friendly behavioral intentions can be applied to club members. Furthermore, gender- and sports-specific differences in the antecedents-intention relationship were detected. This study is among the first to examine environmentally friendly behavioral intentions in community sports clubs. It adds to an increasing body of research investigating environmental sustainability in sports.
近年来，为了减缓气候变化速度及其负面影响，环保行为变得愈发重要。个体行为，包括环保行为，很大程度上是由行为意图形成的。本研究借鉴计划行为理论，考察对行为的态度、主观规范和感知行为控制对环保行为意图的影响。研究还调查了性别差异以及不同运动项目之间的差异。该研究基于对德国全国范围内五个团队/球拍运动项目的社区体育俱乐部成员进行的在线调查数据（n = 3,036）。将用于操作这些构念的现有测量方法适用于当前研究背景。使用结构方程模型对数据进行分析。结果表明，计划行为理论的理论假设在很大程度上得到了数据支持，这意味着环保行为意图的前因可以应用于俱乐部成员。此外，还检测到前因与意图关系中的性别和运动项目特定差异。本研究是首批考察社区体育俱乐部中环保行为意图的研究之一。它为越来越多调查体育领域环境可持续性的研究增添了内容。
