Increased Effectiveness of Conservation the Coastal Environment through Cleaner Production and Work Motivation of Fish Processors

Abstract

The coastal area has developed into a center for the fish processing industry, which has an impact on environmental problems in the form of liquid waste and odors. To overcome these environmental problems and carry out cleaner production such as processing and implementing environmental sanitation, work motivation is needed. Because of this, research was conducted to determine the increase in the effectiveness of preserving the coastal environment through cleaner production and work motivation in salted fish processors in the Tangerang Regency. A quantitative study was conducted on 96 respondents drawn from 2.298 salted fish processors populations. To get the correlation between cleaner production and work motivation on the effectiveness of preserving the coastal environment, the path analysis method was used, which resulted in an increase of 52.7% of cleaner production and work motivation, while the remaining 47.3% resulted from other variables. The conclusion obtained from this research shows that the increase in the effectiveness of coastal environmental conservation can be done by increasing the work motivation of salted fish processors to carry out cleaner production in fish processing.
