Resumen

Este trabajo se enmarca dentro de un proyecto de investigación que pretende el diseño de un programa de intervención, a través del que se trata de dilucidar el papel de las grandes organizaciones en la integración de actitudes ambientales sostenibles en la vida de cada día.

El planteamiento de la investigación surge del reconocimiento de la necesidad de fomentar el cambio en las prácticas y actitudes de las personas hacia el entorno, y en el presente trabajo se informará de los resultados obtenidos en la primera fase, consistentes en la evaluación de las actitudes proambientales y de las dimensiones más relevantes que caracterizan la respuesta ambiental.

Mediante un instrumento de cuestionario, se pretende desglosar cada componente implicado en la actitud, de acuerdo con el modelo de Rosenberg y Hovland (1960) y la obtención de la estructura dimensional que caracteriza la respuesta evaluativa de los trabajadores de dos organizaciones públicas. Las dimensiones obtenidas son analizadas por medio de procedimientos multivariados y comentadas en relación con un conjunto de escalas de preocupación medioambiental.

Abstract

This work is part of a research project that aims to design an intervention program through which we try to give some insight about the role of large scale organizations in the integration of sustainable environmental attitudes in everyday life.

The research arises from the acknowledgement of the need to promote a change in practices and attitudes of people towards the environment. In the current work we will disclose the results obtained in the first phase, which contains the evaluation of the proenvironmental attitudes, as well as the most relevant dimensions that characterize the environmental response.

By means of a questionnaire, as our research method, our aim is to isolate each component implied in the attitudes, according to the Rosenberg and Hovland model (1960), as well as to obtain the dimensional structure which characterizes the evaluative response of workers in two large public organizations. The obtained dimensions are then analyzed with a multivariate methodology approach, and explained with reference to a set of environmental concern scales.
