Abstract

Collective action is behaviour conducted by a group member for the benefit of the group as a whole. It is a key element in combatting challenges which are collective in nature, such as environmental threats. Previous research established a number of theoretical models of participation in collective action based around effects of social identity and its measure in the form of group identification. We investigate these models and the discrepancies within them, while testing an alternative model assuming self-efficacy and collective efficacy as moderators. Our correlational study surveys a sample of 124 participants from Oosterparkwjik in Groningen, Netherlands. We find no evidence to support the hypothesised effects of self-efficacy and collective efficacy as moderators, but we confirm the importance of these variables as significant predictors of participation in collective action.
