 A step towards energy saving by “Transforming Behavior”

We live in an age where energy is an absolute necessity to maintain our lifestyle. we normally talk about several aspects in our day to day life like cost of living going up, inflation rates, sports, in fact even about the stock market at times. However, have you ever given a thought to energy conservation?  With the increase in population and advancement in technology, the demand of energy is all time high these days. Each one of us uses energy in some form or the other all day long, throughout the year. Almost every small thing we do requires energy right from cooking to transportation to lighting, cooling and even entertainment.

Energy conservation is definitely not an issue that will take a significant place in our day to day lives; however it is one of the most important topics that need to be discussed.

Keywords: Energy conservation, technology, behavior change.        

Introduction

Over the past few decades we are continuing conferences on various topics like social responsibility of business, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, ethics, morality, behavioral change, group dynamics etc. For smoothening the functions of the organizations. These issues have become common in every entity right from government departments to private organizations such as hospitals, restaurants, and retail shops, malls including educational institutions, wherever an activity is going on and somebody is paying to a number of employees. Have we ever given a thought why such seminars are always oriented towards the owners or designated authorities for making them responsible towards society? Whereas society or employees do have some responsibility towards the organizations (where they are being paid or earn livelihood) apart from the services they render that we might call social responsibility of employees towards the organization. The paper throws light on some common issues which can bring a positive behavioral change amongst staff members and other employees who really assume themselves to be a part of the organization.
