Abstract

The phenomenon of car dependence among individuals has been causing problems in various cities in Indonesia. The main objective of this exploratory study is to unveil the psychosocial and demographic factors that are deemed to be the predictors of individuals’ dependency on personal cars. The application of the conceptual model of this study surpasses the rational and logical explanation, especially among the middle-high or above class of young professionals growing up in big cities. Quantitative method approach was used on the participants living in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya, which are the representatives of well-known big cities in Indonesia. The data were collected through survey in psychological scales and demographic questions. The result of this study are as follows: 1) Instrumental uses of one’s personal car use seems to be stronger than symbolic and affective meanings; 2) Intention to reduce the use of personal car plays a huge role to mediate the relation of car-use problem awareness and car dependence; 3) Gender is the only demographic characteristics that shows participants’ car dependence differences; Results and limitations of this study are discussed within the implication for theoretical and practical uses in Organizational Behavior studies
