“…It was found that having a vision for a leader is important for reform, innovation, and change (Fasola et al, 2013), which affects proactive behaviors by affecting intrinsic motivation (Yi et al, 2019). Moreover, innovative and motivating school principals tend to exhibit more transformational leadership characteristics (Mi et al, 2019), and a visionary leader who structures a change-based leadership understanding is a reliable, respected social architect who constantly communicates with his or her followers. In addition, studies focused on areas such as the structure of leadership (Smith & Piele, 2006), teacher behaviors and student achievement (Leithwood & Jantzi, 2006), mobbing (Cemaloğlu, 2007), organizational cynicism (Güçlü et al, 2017), work, quality of life, and organizational commitment (Yalçın & Akan, 2016) enrich the literature.…”

In this study, the relationships between the leadership styles of school principals, school culture, and organizational image are examined according to the teachers’ perceptions. The study is designed according to a relational survey model, and it consists of 370 teachers working in 20 schools in Selçuklu, Karatay, and Meram districts of Konya, Turkey. The leadership style scale of school principals (LSSSP), the scale for school culture (SSC), and the scale of the organizational image (SOI) were used as data collection tools. Pearson’s correlation, regression, and path analysis were used for analyzing data in addition to descriptive statistics. It was found that school principals manifest transformational leadership characteristics, the perception of school culture by the teachers is strong and the perception of the organizational image by the teachers is medium. It was also found that there are significant relationships between leadership styles, the school culture, and organizational image, along with the leadership style of school principals, which significantly predicted school culture, and school culture, which significantly predicted organizational image. School culture has a mediator effect on both leadership styles and the organizational image. This is due to the realization of the leadership styles that have an important role in developing an organizational image, through school culture. This research offers the presumptions that leadership manifested by the principal creates a positive effect on the members of the organization and contributes to the formation of strong school culture, in addition to leadership and school culture making a positive contribution to the organizational image of the educational institution.

Social impacts and serious damages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in public introspection on the issue of ecological environmental protection. However, whether the public cognition of COVID-19 can promote pro-environmental behavioral intentions (PEBI) has not yet been determined; this is crucial for studying the ecological significance of the pandemic. Based on the affective events theory (AET), this study investigated the mechanism by which COVID-19 emergency cognition influences public PEBI. Following an analysis of 873 public questionnaires, the results reveal that public cognition of COVID-19 emergency can significantly promote PEBI. Among them, the effect of emergency coping is stronger than that of emergency relevance. Besides, the positive and negative environmental affective reactions aroused by COVID-19 pandemic play a mediating role between the emergency cognition and PEBI. Moreover, the positive environmental affective reactions show a stronger positive effect on household-sphere PEBI. However, the negative environmental affective reactions are more prominent in promoting public-sphere PEBI. This research aims to bridge a research gap by establishing a link between COVID-19 pandemic and PEBI. The findings can provide useful recommendations for policymakers to find the opportunity behind the COVID-19 emergency to promote public PEBI.

“…Among them, individual factors mainly include personality traits ( Kim et al, 2017 ), affections ( Bissing-Olson et al, 2013 ), attitudes, values, personal norms ( Liu et al, 2018 ; Gkargkavouzi et al, 2019 ), perceived behavioral control ( Greaves et al, 2013 ), and environmental knowledge ( Liobikienė and Poškus, 2019 ). Situational factors mainly include organizational support ( Lamm et al, 2013 ), leadership style ( Graves et al, 2013 ; Mi et al, 2019 ), green atmosphere ( Norton et al, 2014 ), green human resource management practices ( Dumont et al, 2017 ), and corporate social responsibility ( Tian and Robertson, 2019 ). These studies provided a basis for our understanding of EGB.…”

The importance of employee green behavior (EGB) to an enterprise’s green development goal is increasingly emphasized in many industries. However, to date promoting EGB through interaction, namely between individuals and organizations, has not been a central concern. Therefore, from the perspective of the person-organization fit, this study considers the psychological distance between employees and the organization as a moderating variable, exploring the mechanisms of values fit, needs-supplies fit, and demands-abilities fit on green behaviors as within and outside the scope of employee responsibility. After collecting the results of questionnaires from 412 employees, our hypotheses were tested using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results show that (1) person-organization fit can effectively promote EGB in the workplace. However, different types of person-organization fit have different influencing paths and effect-strengths on employees’ task-related green behavior and proactive green behavior. (2) Values fit has the greatest incentive effect on EGB, followed by demands-abilities fit, while needs-supplies fit promotes only eco-helping behavior. (3) Psychological distance has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between the person-organization fit and EGB. The effect of person-organization fit on EGB is enhanced when employees are close with less emotional distance, while the effect is weakened in the case of close expectation distance. Finally, this study provides suggestions for enterprise managers providing ways to motivate EGB through the selection and allocation of human resources.
