Respondents self-report tend behave socially desired ways. Consequently, they usually exaggerate intention or To comprehend influencing aspects thoroughly, should consider incorporating experimental methods objective data, such as digitalized data. Practical implications findings provide evidence guiding students’ PEB, including strengthening promoting fashion providing incentives PEBs. Originality/value First, examine internal factors Chinese university within “dual-carbon” initiative framework.
