“…According to Aguinis and Glavas (2012)), companies all over the world are endeavoring to support environmental responsibility because of the increasing concerns about the long‐term opposing effects caused by changing climate and environmental degradation. Around the world, various pro‐environmental initiatives are being employed by the organizations (Zibarras & Coan, 2015). However, achievement and the establishment of various pro‐environmental initiatives employed at the firm level depend on employees' pro‐environmental behaviors (Robertson & Barling, 2013).…”

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.

“…Due to the immense importance of CSR practices, hospitality companies are increasingly more engaged in CSR practices and exhibit this to stakeholders through different channels (Cheema et al, 2019; Supanti, Butcher, & Fredline, 2015). The role of middle management is crucial for promoting employees' pro‐environmental behaviors (Greaves, Zibarras, & Stride, 2013; Zibarras & Coan, 2015).…”

“…Various studies by environmental psychologists have focused on non‐work settings (Afsar et al, 2018)—very few studies have investigated the antecedents of pro‐environmental behaviors in the work setting. Third, this study focuses on the middle‐management of the hospitality industry, which has received less attention from researchers (Greaves et al, 2013; Zibarras & Coan, 2015). Fourth, this study integrates diverse scholastic work into one framework and tests the proposed model in the hospitality industry.…”

Despite research suggesting that pro‐environmental behaviors offer a range of positive benefits for organizations and that corporate social responsibility (CSR) positively affects employee behaviors and attitudes, very few studies have investigated how CSR affects pro‐environmental behaviours. As such, this study investigates the impact of perceived CSR on employees' pro‐environmental behaviours through organizational identification and coworkers' pro‐environmental advocacy. Using a multistage sampling technique, a survey of line managers was conducted across 32 hotels in the understudied context of Malaysia's hotel industry. Based on 331 completed questionnaires, the results suggest that perceived CSR activities drive organizational identification and trigger coworkers’ pro‐environmental advocacy, which in turn generate employees’ pro‐environmental behaviours. The study offers valuable insights into the complex relationship between perceived CSR and pro‐environmental behaviors and discusses the theoretical and research contributions and managerial implications.

“…Russell and McIntosh [ 14 ] suggested that it is vital to train and encourage employees to promote sustainability as a signal of a pro-active approach towards sustainability and technology. Accordingly, implementing an organization’s environmental management system depends on human resources and environmentally friendly practices [ 15 ]. Hence, to shape employees’ behaviors towards more environmentally sustainable practices is essential.…”

In this era of globalization, preventing organizations from undermining and degrading the environment has become a great challenge, especially when considering that organizations are among the major contributors to environmental deterioration. As a result, scholars have recently begun to focus on understanding the key determinants of employee green behavior (EGB), a nascent field within the area of sustainable development and organizational behavior. This study extends the emerging discussion over EGB by investigating how green behavior can be inculcated into employees’ mindsets and under what conditions this can best be accomplished. The present research examines the relationship between ethical leadership and EGB by the mediating mechanisms of green psychological climate, employees’ harmonious environmental passion, and employees’ environmental commitment, through the underpinnings of social learning theory. Further, the study examines the contingency effects of leaders’ pro-environmental attitudes to determine how leaders with ethical attributes and pro-environmental attitudes can create a green psychological climate that ultimately leads to EGB through employees’ harmonious environmental passion and employees’ environmental commitment. The approach to implementing theory development is deductive as the research employed a quantitative research design and survey administration with a time-lagged approach. Multi-level data were collected from 400 respondents working in public and private sector hospitals and universities in Pakistan. The analysis was conducted in MPlus. The results show positive and statistically significant effects of ethical leadership on EGB through the serial mediations of a green psychological climate and employees’ harmonious environmental passion, and a green psychological climate and employees’ environmental commitment. Moreover, the leaders’ pro-environmental attitude contingency strengthens the indirect impact of ethical leadership on EGB. This research provides several managerial implications through which organizations can strategically concentrate on EGB, including saving energy by turning off unused lights, reducing waste, and recycling.
