A mixed-method case study was used to investigate why members of a community do not take collective action to protect their well-being from detrimental neighboring industrial businesses. A hierarchical regression analysis from a self-administered survey (n = 95) shows that low collective efficacy is the main factor contributing to the lack of collective action among the residents (Adjusted R2 = .155, df = 1, F = 15.355, p < .001). Data from an informal participant observation and an archived documents review suggest that limited learned helplessness may have evolved in the community and lowered collective efficacy among its residents
