“…Previous research indicates that environmental concerns have impact on purchasing behavior or conservation of energy (Urban & Ščasný, 2012). Moreover, Binder and Blankenberg (2016) in their study conclude that environmental concern leads to increased propensity to volunteer, and such volunteering relates to well‐being but only for those who have concern for the environment. Thus, the following hypothesis is proposed as:H3a Environmental concern positively affects employee green behavior. H3b Environmental concern positively affects employee well‐being.…”

This article explores the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and three green triggers of environment (awareness, concern, and knowledge) on employee well‐being and green behavior. The study engages the stimulus–organism–response model for testing the association between CSR and well‐being of employees that leads to employee green behavior. Furthermore, social exchange theory has been utilized to describe the association between well‐being and green behavior of employees. Data have been gathered through questionnaire from 509 employees working in guest‐service hotels of Pakistan. Structural equation modeling has been used to test the hypotheses. Findings show that CSR, environmental concern, and knowledge have positive effect on employee well‐being, whereas environmental awareness has positive but insignificant effect on employee well‐being. Furthermore, environmental concern, knowledge, and well‐being have a positive influence on green behavior, whereas CSR and environmental knowledge have a positive but insignificant effect. Moreover, well‐being fully mediates the relationship between CSR and green behavior and between environmental awareness and green behavior of employees. However, a partial mediation was observed between environmental concern and green behavior. The findings also indicate that no mediation was found between environmental knowledge and employee green behavior. The findings suggest that the hotel managers should invest to improve employee's awareness regarding green behavior by conducting environmental training for cultivating environmental knowledge and awareness. Moreover, CSR activities should be performed for attaining competitive edge and maintaining a balance between progress and sustainability of environment.

“…Environmental concern positively impacts PEB (39 behaviors) (Schmitt et al, 2018) and leads to an increased propensity to volunteer, especially if individuals are very concerned about the environmental situation at hand (Binder and Blankenberg, 2016). They also influence purchasing behavior, energy consumption, (Tatić andČinjarević, 2010; Urban anď Sčasnỳ, 2012) and sustainable food consumption (Panzone et al, 2016).…”

“…In doing so, it can be viewed as a further way, beside beside the mainstream economic approaches (stated and revealed preferences), which are based on a purely anthropocentric perspective. Overall, studies indicate that PEB impacts positively on the intention to engage in future PEB (Hartmann et al, 2017) and that PEB is associated with higher subjective well-being (e.g., Villacorta et al, 2003;Brown and Kasser, 2005;Jacob et al, 2009;Welsch and Kühling, 2010;Suárez-Varela et al, 2016;Kaida and Kaida, 2016;Binder and Blankenberg, 2016;Schmitt et al, 2018).…”

This paper provides a systematic review of current economic and psychological studies on the determinants of PEB published up to 2017. Our normative understanding and study of PEB can benefit from an integral review of these research traditions. Consequently, we identify various determinants of PEB that can be classified into four major types: • Socio-demographic factors (personal capabilities) • Attitudinal (psychological) factors • Habits • Contextual factors (individual, social and institutional) Our paper shows that to understand the complex workings of PEB, it is no longer viable to study its determinants individually, but researchers must rather consider an interplay of these factors. In addition to the introduction of this intersectional approach, we show that measuring PEB in an adequate way requires the consideration of more than one or two distinct behaviors (multiple items) as the impact of the determinants differs depending on the analyzed behavior. PEB itself can also be distinguished into types of PEB (private vs public sphere behaviors, environmental activism). Additionally, our review gives an overview of the typical methodological approaches and systematizes the questions used to measure PEB. By combining results from economics and psychology, this work offers a starting point for a more intersectional and interdisciplinary understanding of PEB, and a guide for further empirical investigations.

“…Por ejemplo, existe evidencia que respalda la relación entre realizar actividades de voluntariado y el bienestar subjetivo (Windsor, et al, 2008;Dulin, et al, 2012;Taghian, et al, 2012). Lo anterior aplica a todas las edades (Matsushima & Matsunaga, 2015;Binder & Blankenberg, 2016).…”

El objetivo del presente artículo es ampliar el conocimiento respecto a la medición, el muestreo y las estadísticas relacionadas con el concepto de bienestar subjetivo. Como metodología de investigación, se realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre el bienestar subjetivo, y se observa que la variable de acceso al agua potable ha sido escasamente estudiada como un factor asociado, para lo cual, se genera un modelo econométrico con datos de 131 países de 2014, donde la variable dependiente es el bienestar subjetivo desde el enfoque de contentamiento y las variables explicativas son el empleo, como variable de control, y el acceso al agua potable. Los resultados obtenidos de la investigación, muestran un coeficiente de correlación, que indica que el 59% de los cambios en el bienestar subjetivo son explicados por los cambios en el acceso al agua potable y por el empleo, con una elasticidad del bienestar subjetivo con respecto al acceso al agua potable de 0.45, y con relación al empleo de 1.12; lo cual, tiene un impacto significativo en el bienestar subjetivo o felicidad de cada individuo a nivel mundial para aumentar su calidad de vida y el bienestar de la sociedad.
