Abstract
This research established a scale of zero food waste competence for hospitality students. The study explored three competencies: knowledge, attitude, and skill. The dimensions of the scale were developed through exploratory factor analysis with knowledge competencies, including the dimensions of food characteristics and preparation; attitude competencies, including the dimensions of surplus food preparation and personal zero waste; and skill competencies, including the dimensions of food choice and management skills, and improving menu skills. The results for the scale indicated good discriminant validity, convergent validity, and reliability. The second-order three-factor model was significantly better fit than other models.
