“…TPB has always maintained a possibility of being integrated with other theories, mainly when the inclusion of other variables can be depicted to advance the model's predictive utility (Ajzen, 1991(Ajzen, , 2011. Extant research has opined that employees with concern for their environment tend to be more receptive towards obtaining environmental knowledge (Okumus et al, 2019), build self-confidence, and have a positive attitude to engage in environmental conservation behaviour that would help reduce environmental degradation (Lau & Hashim, 2020). Further, environmental concern is a form of belief about what is currently happening in the environment.…”

“…When employees are disturbed about the environment due to the evidence of ecological degradation being experienced, their attitudinal disposition would be inclined towards environmental conservation (de Groot & Steg, 2007). Such attitudinal disposition stems from a sense of responsibility and a desire to save the environment (Lau & Hashim, 2020). Environmental concern can impact behavioural belief that the environment is in danger and there is a need to start carrying out actions to preserve the environment (Ajzen, 2015).…”

“…Environmental concern can impact behavioural belief that the environment is in danger and there is a need to start carrying out actions to preserve the environment (Ajzen, 2015). Studies have indicated that attitude is impacted by environmental concerns (Albayrak et al, 2013;de Groot & Steg, 2007;Lau & Hashim, 2020;Verma et al, 2019). It is argued that individuals' environmental concern will determine their attitude towards visiting green organisations (Verma et al, 2019).…”

Academic employees' green behaviour as praxis for bolstering environmental sustainable development: A linear moderated mediation evaluation

There have been calls for organisational employees across developed and emerging economies to be more responsible towards the environment because of the heightened level of devastation in the ecosystem due to human actions. This study examines the influence of environmental concern on employee green behaviour (EGB) through the mediation of attitude, perceived behavioural control (PBC), and environmental knowledge. SmartPLS 3 software was used to analyse the relationships from 425 valid responses. The findings of our study show that environmental concern, attitude, and PBC positively predict the EGB of academics. Attitude and PBC act as complimentary mediators of the relationship between environmental concern and EGB. Equally, a linear moderated mediation analysis shows that environmental concern amplifies the link between PBC and EGB. Furthermore, an importance‐performance map analysis (IPMA) provides evidence that suggests that though employees' attitude is a less important predictor of EGB when compared with environmental concern, their respective degree of performance is equal to each other. Furthermore, this study offers substantive insights into the multiple roles of environmental concern in influencing employee green behaviour among academics in higher education institutions (HEIs). Policy implications and future research directions for environmental sustainability are discussed.

“…Joshi et al (2019) reported a significant mediation effect of attitude on the relationship between perceived knowledge and consumption intention. Lau and Hashim (2020) observed that PBC mediated the effect of environmental concern on green intention. Mindfulness operates as a distal factor with regard to pro-environmental behavior (Hunecke and Richter, 2019) and having been conceptualized as a trait, is likely to impact intention through these factors.…”

PurposeThe role of mindfulness in influencing green behaviors has been recognized in literature though it has not been explored sufficiently in the context of organic food. This study makes an attempt to explore the role of mindfulness in influencing young consumers' purchase intention (PI) toward organic food in India.Design/methodology/approachA total of 348 useable responses were collected through an intercept survey at organic food stores using a purposive sampling approach. Data analysis was carried out through structural equation modeling.FindingsMindfulness emerged as a significant predictor of behavioral intention. Further, the specific indirect effects of mindfulness through attitude, perceived behavioral control (PBC), drive for environmental responsibility (DER) and label reference willingness (LRW) were also significant.Originality/valueThis research is one of the initial efforts to link mindfulness with PI for organic food. The results could help the government and marketers tap onto the potential of mindfulness with regard to environment-friendly products and frame appropriate strategies for stimulating the demand for organic food in India

“…A green building would optimize the consumption of electricity, water, wastage and the demand for sustainable building material during the building process. Green buildings can minimize the consumption of non-renewable resources (CURC, 2008;Vyas and Jha, 2016;Jha, 2017, Lau andHashim, 2019;Dell'Anna et al, 2020). They also maximize the efficiency of the whole building process by increased recycling and by using more resources that are renewable.…”

PurposeConstruction industry is one of the leading causes of pollution generation in today's context. But the fact that the development of construction industry leads to the country's economic and social development cannot be unobserved. Hence, there is a need to develop a sustainable construction methodology, and while doing so, measures must be considered so as to not disturb the natural habitats. With the greater prominence shown toward the concept of green and sustainable construction developments, various tools have been developed in recent years in order to measure the performance of such sustainable and green buildings. In the Indian context, the assessment tools developed to measure the performance of the green building are found to be scanty in addressing various economic and social impacts.Design/methodology/approachThis study aims at developing a building performance score (BPS) model concerning the sustainability model built on the triple bottom priorities considering all the three vital components, viz. environmental, economic and social factors. In this study, the different phases involved in the complete life cycle of the project are recognized and then all the phases are assessed considering all the three major components mentioned in the BPS model.FindingsThe outcome of this study specifies that various indicators, such as the topographical and climate change, health and safety of the construction workers, project management consultancy, risk management, security measures and solid waste management, form a chief source of a sustainable building, and these indicators are not being assessed in the existing assessment tools. Also, consideration of environmental, economic and social factors is also equally important in construction industry. Moreover, these indicators are also required to be assessed and included in the evaluation process while assessing the performance of the building.Originality/valueThe BPS model developed in the study will assist to improve in assessing the building performance with respect to all indicators in the complete life cycle of the project.
