Salud Ambiental, Gestión ambiental, la ecoeficiencia y su relación con la optimización de los residuos sólidos

This research aimed to determine the relationship between environmental management, eco-efficiency of municipal workers, and the optimization of solid waste. A quantitative applied study was conducted, using a non-experimental design with a causal correlational scope and a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 340 collaborators from the solid waste management sub-department of a municipality in Lima, using a convenience probabilistic sample of 191 collaborators. The information for this study was obtained through three instruments, from which acceptable reliability levels were obtained through the Cronbach’s alpha statistical process. The results of this research confirmed the proposed hypotheses, showing that environmental management and the eco-efficiency of workers significantly influence the optimization of solid waste, obtaining a zero-order partial correlation with a value of 0,763 and p-value=0,000. These results were given through the indicators of the logistic regression used with the Nagelkerke pseudo R-squared model (0,861), which explains the level of influence of the variables on the optimization of solid waste.
