Abstract
The aim of the current analysis is to test the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee’s pro-environmental behavior (E-PEB) with the mediating effect of servant leadership (SL). The data of the current study were collected from banking employees (n = 392) serving in different banks of Pakistan through a self-administered (paper–pencil method) questionnaire and analyzed by employing structural equation modeling (SEM). The empirical results revealed that CSR directly influences E-PEB; however, this relationship is better explained in the presence of SL as a mediator (mediation explained 35% variation in E-PEB). The findings of this analysis will help academia and the banking industry improve their understanding of CSR to shape employees’ environment-specific behavior. Further, these findings will also help to deal with climate change by engaging the bank employees in different environment-specific activities to improve the overall environmental footprint of a bank.
Highlights
The vulnerable climatic conditions in different regions of the world have raised the concern about the environment among all stakeholders [1]
The current study collected the information of all variables from the same participant at a specific point in time which gave rise to the concern of the presence of common method variance (CMV), which may lead to false internal consistency [69]
The standard practice in this respect is that if the outcome of a single factor test indicates that the strong single factor explains a variation of 50% or more, the presence of CMV is confirmed, and needs to be addressed by the authors before proceeding further in the stage of data analysis
Summary
The vulnerable climatic conditions in different regions of the world have raised the concern about the environment among all stakeholders [1] Environmental issues such as extreme weather, depletion of the ozone layer, and scarcity of natural resources, including clean water and compromised ecosystems, are some of the related examples that give rise to the concern for the environment at all levels [1,2]. In this regard, the striking observation is that businesses around the world have significantly contributed directly or indirectly to the current state of environmental vulnerability [3].
