Abstract: Citizenship behaviour concept is normally use to identify the quality of activities conducted by people to act towards the environment in ways that are more responsible. The research aimed at finding out the information about the effect of personal commitment, personal investment, and intention to act on students’ citizenship behaviour. A survey was used by involving 170 students as sample. There were four instruments for measuring, citizenship behaviour (18 items, reliability .884), intention to act (20 items, reliability .909), personal investment (17 items, reliability .895), and personal commitment (12 items, reliability .776). Data was analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, inferential statistics for linearity and path analysis. Students’ citizenship behaviour significantly affected directly by intention to act. Intention to act itself were also significantly affected by personal commitment and personal investment. The research was also found that all indirect effect significantly affect students’ citizenship behaviour. Based on the findings it could be revealed that any changing or variation occurred in student’s citizenship behaviour might have been directly significant effected by student’s personal commitment and student’s personal investment and indirectly significant effected by intention to act. Hence, if we want to minimize the variation occurred in student’s citizenship behaviour, factors such as students’ personal commitment, personal investment, and intention to act are important to be taken into account.
