The myth that military culture could not drive environmental sustainability? Cross-level influence of military culture on pro-environmental behavior

Abstract

The promotion of sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a crucial government policy, and military units are government departments responsible for constructive affairs. However, few studies have explored the effects of perceived military social responsibility on environmental attitude and green organizational citizenship behavior. The present study addresses this research gap by developing a research framework regarding sustainability by applying organizational identity theory to the military. The results indicate that perceived military social responsibility is crucial in improving environmental attitude and green organizational citizenship behavior and promoting sustainable development. These results can be used as a reference by military units to achieve sustainable development goals and provide practical implications for sustainable management.
