The structural equation modeling results show that the model achieves good overall fit
and statistically significant path relationships, indicating strong explanatory power.
Implementation of waste management has a direct and significant effect on behavioral
intention and fully mediates the relationship between recycling perception and
behavioral intention, confirming its central role in the model. In addition, the model
demonstrates that attitudes toward recycling significantly strengthen behavioral
intention, while recycling convenience, although influenced by waste management
implementation, does not directly affect intention. Interpretatively, this means the
SEM-AMOS model successfully captures both structural and psychological mechanisms
shaping recycling intentions, validating its ability to explain how systemic waste
management practices and individual attitudes jointly drive recycling behavior among
waste pickers in Central Java.
