| Although sustainability is one of the most important global goals of our time, it has not yet been fully integrated into the daily lives of individuals in many societies. This study aims to examine the level of students’ attitudes and behaviours towards sustainability at universities, which are expected to spread sustainability awareness by forming the foundation of sustainability education, and to measure the impact of these attitudes on behaviours related to sustainability. The research was conducted with students from the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (FEAS) at Bursa Uludağ University, and the data were collected through a survey. A total of 921 students from different departments of the FEAS participated in the survey, and frequency analysis, regression analysis, t-test, and ANOVA analyses were used in the data analysis. According to regression analysis results, a moderate positive relationship was found between students’ sustainability attitudes and sustainability behaviours. This indicates that students with a higher awareness of sustainability are more likely to engage in behaviours that reflect these attitudes. Furthermore, the study found a statistically significant difference between students’ knowledge levels about the sustainable development goals and their interest in these goals, and their sustainability attitudes and behaviours. Students who had more knowledge about the goals and showed greater interest in them were found to have more positive sustainability attitudes and behaviours. The study also revealed statistically significant differences in students’ sustainability attitudes and behaviours based on their gender, length of study, and the departments they were studying in. |
