Many theories of behaviour & behaviour change
Individual
• Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen
& Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein &
Ajzen, 1975)
• Theory of Planned Behaviour
(Azjen 1985)
• Norm Activation Model
(Schwartz, 1977)
• Social Norms Approach (Perkins
& Berkowitz, 1986)
• Technology Acceptance Model
(Ventakesh & Bala 2010)
• Behavioural economics (Tversky
& Kahneman 1992)
• etc
Social/Contextual
• Systems thinking (von Bertalanffy
1968; Emery 1969, Midgley 2003,
Mingers & Brocklesby 1997)
• Structuration (Giddens 1979,
1984)
• Practice theory (Reckwitz 2002,
Batriaux et al 2014; Hand et al
2007; Shove 2004).
• Actor-network theory (Latour
1993, Law and Hassard 1999)
• Socio-technical systems (Smith
and Stirling 2007), multi-level
perspective (Geels 2002, 2004)

Business energy cultures
1. Frugal
Not interested in energy but don't
overuse
Switch off to save costs
Don't see relationship between
energy and core business
2. Do more with less
Not interested in energy but don't
overuse
Developing ways to use energy more
productively
Don't see relationship between
energy and core business
3. Integrate
Interested in energy consumption
Developing and investing ways to use
energy more productively
Do see relationship between energy
and core business
4. Market it
Business built on being energy
efficient
Investing in ways to use energy more
productively
Actively build a relationship between
energy efficiency and core business

Energy Cultures as an integrative model
1. Supports interdisciplinary research
2. Accessible to both academics and non-academics
3. Takes into account the broad context of behavioural influences
4. Complementary with relevant theories
5. Supports multiple research methods
6. Applicable at multiple scales
7. Accounts for heterogeneity
8. Generalisable
9. Policy relevant
10. Highlights role of culture change in transition
