Abstract
By applying the spiritual leadership and fairness theories in the environmental context, the present study examined the relationship between spiritual leadership and target-based organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment (OCBE). The study also tested the mediating and moderating roles of employees’ environmental justice orientation and harmonious environmental passion in the relationship between spiritual leadership and target-based OCBE. Based on time-lagged and two-source data collected from 337 supervisor-employee dyads in 41 Chinese firms, the results showed that spiritual leadership is positively related to target-based OCBE, both directly and indirectly via environmental justice orientation. Interestingly, the study found that the direct relationship between spiritual leadership and target-based OCBE was contingent on harmonious environmental passion. Other than contributions to the literature on justice orientation, spiritual leadership, and OCBE, the study guides managers to gauge a wide range of pro-environmental behaviors and make appropriate managerial interventions to reduce organizations’ carbon footprint.
