Behavioral Patterns of Environmental Stewardship A Pathway to Sustainable Livelihood

Environmental pollution and degradation are not new phenomena, but continuing as a global problem that cannot be completely resolved. Hence, the need to preserve the environment will continue as long as life exists on earth and its ultimate responsibility lies in the hands of each individual. The study is a travel through an individual's daily life in search of their environmental consideration by examining their behavioral patterns of environmental stewardship. The study highlights the mediating role of Environmental Stewardship (ES) between the Preceding Behavioral Motivators (PBM) and Sustainable Livelihood (SL) of individuals. Furthermore, the study also reveals the sequential relationship between Environmental Concern (ECN), Environmental Commitment (ECM), and Environmental Actions (EA) as the determinants of ES. All the established relationships were found significant and the findings enriched the lap of contributed theories and revealed the state of ES and SL of individuals in Kerala.
