An empirical study on impact of employee green behaviour on employee well–being with mediating role of self-esteem in higher educational institutions using PLS SEM

Abstract

Environmental conservation and sustainable development are focus areas in various fields. Of late, researchers in HRM discipline, organizational behavior, and sustainability are focusing on the factors influencing green behavior. The study evaluated the perceptions of faculty members towards green behavior in educational institutions and also measured how these perceptions could impact their well-being in the workplace. The prime objective is to explore the connections between the green behavior of employees in the workplace, employee well-being, and self-esteem. The sample of the study consisted of faculty members from a higher educational institution in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and 410 questionnaires were given out, with 385 accurate responses received online using Google Docs. Convenience sampling is a non-probabilistic methodology that collects data from members who are available to take part in research. Employee green behavior has an indirect impact on employee well-being and self-esteem, which is positively mediated between employee green behavior and employee well-being.
