Abstract: This study examines the effects of culture, religious belief, subjective norm, and environmental concern on pro-environmental behaviour and life satisfaction. The quantitative approach was implemented to analyse data gathered from 301 worshipers in Bind Duong province, Vietnam. Using the PLS-SEM approach, the findings reveal that culture has positive relationships with religious beliefs, subjective norm, and environmental concern. Moreover, there is a connection between environmental concern and behaviour, which in turn influences life satisfaction. This article contributes to the limited literature review of culture, religion, and environment-related variables in Vietnam. Finally, this study provides authorities meaningful insights to mitigate the negative impacts of economic and social development by utilising cultural factors and promoting pro-environmental behaviour and life satisfaction.
