Description
Summary:This article aimed to identify the perceived influences of the thematic axes of the Environmental Agenda in Public Administration (A3P) on the environmental awareness of public servants. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the 414 responses from public servants from an entity in the justice sector that adhered to the A3P agenda. The results show that only the axes of awareness and training of employees and sustainable bidding at A3P were not statistically significant. On the other hand, the axes of rational use of natural resources and public goods, adequate management of waste generated, quality of life in the work environment, and sustainable constructions positively and statistically significantly affect the environmental awareness of employees. Additionally, it was found that when the control variables (age, type of activity, and time of organization) were inserted into the model, there were some significant changes, proving that the older the age and the longer the organization, the greater the perceptions of the importance of A3P practices and actions. This study concludes that it is important that individuals at the organizational level are also imbued with actions and practices aimed at achieving the objectives of the 2030 Agenda.
