Abstract
Through applying social information processing theory and social identity theory, we propose that employees’ moral reflectiveness mediates the relationship between environmentally specific transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment. Further, we tested the moderating effect of leader group prototypicality on the relationship between environmentally specific transformational leadership and subsequent moral reflectiveness. We examined the hypothesized relationships using data collected in China from 194 employees. The findings demonstrated that environmentally specific transformational leadership positively predicts employee organizational citizenship behavior for the environment, and moral reflectiveness mediates this relationship. Further, leader group prototypicality strengthens the positive relationship between environmentally specific transformational leadership and subsequent moral reflectiveness. This study extends the understanding of environmentally specific transformational leadership in the context of manufacturing companies and has practical implications to help employees accelerate their organizational citizenship behavior for the environment.
