“…That is, if employees, as key stakeholders, perceive their firms' CSR efforts to be fake or dishonest, they would be less motivated to perform PEB despite learning about their firms' CSR activities. Based on the ABC theory, CSR authenticity can act as a bridge that strengthens the positive effect of CSR initiatives on employees' PEB [83][84][85]. Thus, to engender PEB, firms' CSR-related initiatives must be genuine and truthful to validate stakeholder beliefs concerning their environmental efforts and lay the basis for CSR authenticity [78,86].…”

Despite the substantial attention given to pro-environmental behavior (PEB) by academicians, practitioners, and policymakers, few studies have investigated how employee-perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects employees’ PEB. Moreover, though the concept of PEB has been found to elicit a wide range of positive benefits for employee behaviors and attitudes, it has rarely been applied to the context of the manufacturing sector. Underpinned by the social identity theory (SIT) and the attitude-behavior-context (ABC) theory, the present study investigates the impact of employee-perceived CSR on employees’ PEB through the moderating roles of employee–CSR skepticism and employee–CSR authenticity. The convenience sampling technique was used to select employees from Pakistani manufacturing firms to participate in the study’s survey. Analysis results of data from 235 respondents across 115 manufacturing firms suggest that employee-perceived CSR positively drives employees’ PEB. In addition, the findings offer valuable insights on employee–CSR skepticism and employee–CSR authenticity. Specifically, CSR skepticism weakens the link between perceived CSR and PEB, while CSR authenticity strengthens this link. By providing implications and limitations, the present study discusses that organizations can convey the message of their credible, genuine, and authentic CSR efforts to their employees for social, economic, and environmental wellbeing. The study’s discussions and conclusions are presented.

The fruit of Spondias purpurea L. is well accepted from different regions of Latin America. In many cases, however, their postharvest quality and physiological behavior have not been adequately studied. These aspects were therefore examined in five commercially grown ecotypes from Mexico. To this end, samples of green-, half ripe-, and ripe-harvested fruit were stored at 25 °C (60 % RH) for 5 d – with several indicators of quality and postharvest behavior periodically assessed. Four out of the five ecotypes examined produced drupes that were large (> 15 g in ‘Costeña’, ‘Amarilla’, ‘Morada’, and ‘Costilluda’). On the other hand, large differences in weight loss (5–21 %) and in the total soluble solids of ripe fruit (9–17 %) were apparent, as was a 9.3 % increase in the weight of drupes when they transitioned from the green to the half ripe stage on trees, suggesting that harvesting should take place during this period. Increments in the production of CO2 and ethylene were both associated with a shortening of postharvest life. Based strictly on firmness, the ecotypes most likely to resist postharvest handling were ‘Morada’ and ‘Conservera’. Best global quality on the other hand, belonged to ‘Amarilla’ and ‘Costeña’

“…First, on an equitable interpersonal level (i.e., between coworkers), colleagues' support for the environment may serve as a reference (e.g., [6,13,117]). Second, an impersonal reference point is given by organizational policies, procedures, and practices that support the environment (e.g., [130,133,134]), including CSR activities [135,136]. Third-although sometimes only implicitly-superior management may also shape employees' perceptions of a proenvironmental work climate, either by means of interpersonal interaction (e.g., rolemodeling) or through designing and declaring desired policies, procedures, and practices (e.g., [133,137,138]).…”

Research lacks a solid understanding of the relational patterns between intrapersonal and organizational determinants to promote proenvironmental behavior. In this study, I investigated the effects of employees’ intrapersonal and perceived organizational determinants on voluntary proenvironmental behavior of employees (VPBE) from an integrative moral perspective. While primarily building on insights from norm activation theory and research on organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE), I developed a framework and empirically analyzed how interactions between ascriptions of environmental responsibility, perceptions of proenvironmental work climates, and affective organizational commitment influence VPBE. The findings show that even employees (in this study: student workforce) with little sense of responsibility towards nature can be subtly encouraged to practice VPBE. I discuss the findings against the backdrop of integrated and introjected norms and provide managerial advice. The study contributes to a theoretical broadening of the norm activation theory in workplace contexts and advances our knowledge of conditional effects and normative mechanisms underlying VPBE.
