“…Many studies on antecedents of voluntary PEB at work focus on an organizational pool of factors (Luu, 2019), including job satisfaction, employee commitment (Saifulina et al, 2021) or formal CSR practices (Vila-V azquez et al, 2022), paying less attention to individual sphere antecedents (Tosti-Kharas et al, 2017). The aforementioned studies focus on employees' voluntary PEB at work from the environmental management perspective (e.g.…”

PurposeSuccessful stimulation of employee engagement in pro-environmental behavior (PEB) at work can reduce organizational environmental footprint and boost its green performance. The aim of this paper is to investigate the individual factors that may promote such behavior at work, offering a complex model with mediating relationships not studied before.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper data was collected through a survey of 331 bank employees from different banks in Kazakhstan and Ecuador. Structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships between the different constructs.FindingsThe results identified that environmental values and attitudes mediate the relationship between (1) personal environmental awareness and (2) environmental concern and employees' voluntary PEB at work. Harmonious environmental passion (HEP) mediates the relationship between environmental values and attitudes and employees' voluntary PEB at work.Practical implicationsThis study presents important organizational policymaking implications with regard to organizational greening. The importance of environmental awareness is underlined, guiding managers to offer environmental education and training to the employees with the aim of improving environmental knowledge that may lead to employees' voluntary PEB at work. Also, managers should work on enhancing HEP.Originality/valuePrior literature on this topic is still scarce. This research presents important contributions by discussing how individual antecedents may act as stimuli of employees' voluntary PEB at work in the context of the banking sector in two emerging countries that are often neglected by prior literature.

“…In this realm, pro-environmental behaviours have received recent research attention [25]. It has been found that employees' attribution of why their organization engages in CSR impacts their engagement in environmentally friendly behaviors [26]. Pro-environmental behaviours include an array of behaviours like proactive behaviours, green creativity, and TPB [9].…”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has many positive outcomes, yet how and when its impacts employees’ green behaviour is still to be examined. This research tested the effect of CSR initiatives on the Task Pro-environmental behaviour (TPB) of employees via the mediating role of organisational pride. Moreover, the role of CSR communication was considered as a moderator in CSR and pride relationships. The study was based on two theories: Social Identity Theory and Signalling Theory. The investigation was quantitative and based on the data collected at three points of time, i.e., T1 = CSR and internal CSR communication, T2 = organisational pride, and T3 = TPB with a one-week time lag from banking sector employees. 500 questionnaires were distributed, of which 361 responded, forming a response rate of 72.2%. The analysis was done using PROCESS mediation and moderation models. The results affirmed a positive relationship between CSR and organisational pride and also its subsequent impact on TBP. The moderating role of internal CSR communication between CSR and organisational pride was also supported. In addition, the indirect moderating role of internal CSR communication was also established between CSR and TPB via organisational pride.

“…Organizations can foster environmental sustainability through the pro-environmental behavior (PEB) of their employees (Saifulina et al ., 2023). Despite recent research efforts (Fu et al ., 2022; Guan et al ., 2023; Lin et al ., 2022; Vila-Vázquez et al ., 2023; Ari et al ., 2020; Karatepe et al ., 2022a), understanding the factors that encourage or deter such behaviors within the workplace remains an area that necessitates further exploration, especially within the specific context of the Chinese hotel industry. This study seeks to bridge this gap by examining the interplay between several key variables job embeddedness (JE), environmental commitment (EC), job autonomy (JA) and PEB, which have been identified as influential in previous literature but not thoroughly examined in the context of Chinese hotels.…”

“…This fact is important with the growing emphasis on environmental sustainability in the sector (Karatepe et al ., 2022b). Recent studies have noticed the impact of CSR on promoting employees’ PEB in hotel industry (Guan et al ., 2023; Vila-Vázquez et al ., 2023), but the direct influences from JE on PEB in Chinese hotel context have not been covered, and further examination is necessary. This relationship is crucial in the sense that JE factors including fit, links and sacrifice may determine an employee’s willingness to engage in PEBs.…”

PurposeGrounded in social identity theory (SIT), this study aims to explore the relationships between job embeddedness (JE), environmental commitment (EC), job autonomy (JA) and pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in the hotel industry. It specifically investigates the mediating role of EC in the JE-PEB relationship and the moderating effect of JA on the JE-EC relationship.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a quantitative methods approach, this study evaluates the interrelationships among the variables using the SPSS macro-PROCESS Model 4 and 7.FindingsThe study uncovers a significant positive relationship between JE and PEB, mediated by EC. It also identifies JA as a moderator in the JE-EC relationship, which in turn influences PEB.Practical implicationsThese insights can guide organizations, especially in the hotel industry, on how job design and organizational culture can be optimized to promote PEB among employees. By enhancing JE and autonomy, organizations can foster greater EC, thereby catalyzing increased PEB.Originality/valueThis study uniquely integrates the constructs of JE, EC, JA and PEB under the lens of SIT, offering fresh perspectives into the dynamics of workplace behavior and its impact on the environment.
