“…Scholarly work by Vuorio et al (2018) posits that entrepreneurs deriving personal satisfaction from their work were more likely to persist in their entrepreneurial pursuits. Entrepreneurs prioritising values such as social impact and community service are more likely to start a business that addresses societal and environmental problems (Bosompem et al, 2022;Boulongne, 2022). In addition, Intrinsic Rewards can also enhance an individual's pro-social and pro-environmental cognitive styles, contributing to SEI (Srivastava et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this empirical study is to enable a better understanding of the construct sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) and thereby promote sustainable entrepreneurship. It aims to examine the significance of work values (extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards and job security) as antecedents of SEI and to test the mediating effect of three constructs derived from the theory of planned behaviour – attitude towards sustainability, perceived entrepreneurial desirability and perceived entrepreneurial feasibility on the relationships between work values and SEI.Design/methodology/approachConfirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed using analysis of moment structures v27 and statistical package for social science v28 on data obtained from the survey of young individuals of India. The respondents were students enrolled in higher education programmes.FindingsAll the identified antecedents (extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards, job security and theory of planned behaviour constructs) were found to be statistically significant. The partial mediating effect of the theory of planned behaviour constructs was also reported.Originality/valueThis empirical work leads to the theoretical advancement of the emerging construct, SEI, by presenting evidence of the significant individual-level antecedents of the construct. The results lead to recommendations for policymakers and educators to design strategies to strengthen SEI, thereby expanding the adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship.

The study contributes to the advancement of the theory and practice of sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) by enabling a deeper understanding of the emerging construct, sustainability‐oriented entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) which is a precursor of SE. A unique, comprehensive model depicting the role of the individual‐level antecedents of SEI is developed from an exhaustive literature review, and it is then validated using survey responses from youth in India. Of the seven constructs identified from the literature, four constructs, namely Altruism, Environmental Values, Intrinsic Rewards, and Attitude Towards Sustainability (one of the Theory of Planned Behavior constructs [TPB]), were found to have the strongest relationship with SEI, while others (Extrinsic Rewards, General Self‐Efficacy, Job Security, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs Perceived Entrepreneurial Desirability, and Perceived Entrepreneurial Feasibility) were reported as statistically significant. Partial Mediating effects of TPB constructs were also reported. This research provides empirical evidence on the individual‐level antecedents of SEI, hence contributing to the sparse body of literature available on the emerging construct, SEI. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators to design effective approaches to foster SEI and expand the adoption of SE among young individuals. The originality of this study lies in the fact that, to date, no comprehensive research has been conducted on any demographic group in India to examine the individual‐level factors that influence SEI.

This study examines the mediating role played by green psychological climate between green human resource management practices and green employee behavior relationship. A cross‐sectional, survey‐based, multi‐level approach was adopted to understand the relationship among the variables. Data was collected from 77 HR managers and 445 employees using online and offline methods of data collection. Drawing on social exchange theory and social cognitive theory, the results of the study revealed that green psychological climate partially mediates the relationship between green human resource management practices and green employee behavior. The study is first in itself to empirically examine the relationship among the variables using multi‐level approach. Multi‐level approach of decoding the relationships in organization behavior is considered as a better way of unlocking the relationships since it addresses several methodological concerns. The study attempts to bind the ideas of social exchange theory, social cognitive theory and strategic HRM with green concept paving way for green strategic HRM. Green human resource management practices foster eco‐friendly HR practices, green psychological climate assesses the organizational atmosphere, and green employee behavior reflects sustainable behavior among employees. This comprehensive view allows organizations to integrate corporate social responsibility and environmental management seamlessly, ensuring that sustainable principles are embedded throughout the company's culture, operations, and employee actions, thereby promoting a more environmentally responsible and socially accountable corporate environment.
