Environmental-Specific Servant Leadership and Organizational Environmental Citizenship Behavior: The Mediating Role of Harmonious Environmental Passion

Activities within the tourism industry contribute to environmental issues, including climate change, resource depletion, emission of pollutants impacting air and water quality, and generation of sound and light pollution. Furthermore, these actions can lead to species extinction. Leadership has been identified as a key factor in enhancing green performance both at the individual and organizational levels. Our objective is to elucidate the mechanisms and contextual limitations influencing the correlation between environmental-specific servant leadership and organizational environmental citizenship behavior, utilizing insights from the conservation of resource theory. The suggested connections were explored through the acquisition of data via a survey conducted among 300 employees and their supervisors employed across diverse organizations within the hospitality and tourism sectors. The data underwent analysis using PLS-SEM, and the empirical findings substantiated that the relationship between environmental-specific servant leadership and organizational environmental citizenship behavior is mediated by harmonious environmental passion. These findings contribute to the conservation of resource theory.

Action Competence towards Environmental Citizenship of College of Teacher Education Students

This correlational study investigated the relationship between action competence and environmental citizenship in the context of teacher education. A sample of 324 teacher education students enrolled during the Second Semester of School Year 2022 - 2023 at the University of Mindanao, Philippines were selected as respondents, and they completed a modified survey instrument that collected data on their levels of action competence and environmental citizenship. The analysis of descriptive statistics using mean scores revealed high levels of both action competence and environmental citizenship. The results also determined teacher education students’ willingness to act and sustainability as key indicators of their action competence and environmental citizenship, respectively. Pearson's r correlation coefficient value of r = .688 (P = .000) showed a significant positive relationship between the two variables indicating that students with higher levels of action competence were more likely to exhibit environmental citizenship behaviors. These findings suggest that action competence is an important factor in fostering environmental citizenship among teacher education students. The researchers described these results about their implications for curriculum design, pedagogical approaches, and policy development, highlighting the importance of integrating sustainability education into teacher preparation programs to nurture action competence and empower future educators to contribute effectively to sustainable development efforts.

Environmentally specific transformational leadership and employee green attitude and behavior: An affective events theory perspective

PurposeAlthough environmental psychology research acknowledges the strategic role of leadership in shaping employee green outcomes for environmental sustainability, little is known about the role of environmentally specific transformational leadership (ETFL). Drawing on affective events theory (AET) we examined the mediating role of harmonious environmental passion (HEP), and the moderating role of proactive personality (PP), on the relationship between ETFL and employee environmental commitment (ECC) and organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment (OCBE). Design/methodology/approachTime-lagged and multisource survey data were collected from 251 subordinate-supervisor dyads working in manufacturing companies. FindingsThe results indicate that HEP mediates the positive relationship between ETFL and ECC and OCBE. However, the combined effect of ETFL and PP on HEP was not significant. But the indirect effect of ETFL was conditional on levels of PP. Originality/valueOur study provides theoretical and practical insights by investigating the underlying mechanism of HEP in the relationship between ETFL and employee green outcomes. Importantly, our findings illuminate role of proactivity among employees’ personality in these relationships.

Green human resource management practices as a strategic choice for enhancing employees' environmental outcomes: an affective events theory perspective

PurposeDrawing on affective events theory (AET), this study aims to examine how green human resource management (GHRM) practices influence employees' environmental commitment (EEC) and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) through the mediating role of harmonious environmental passion (HEP).Design/methodology/approachTime-lagged and multisource data were collected from employee–coworker dyads (n = 231) working in manufacturing companies. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM) technique.FindingsResults revealed that GHRM practices predicted both EEC and OCBE significantly. Further, HEP partially mediated the relationship of GHRM practices with EEC and OCBE.Originality/valueThis study provides new insights towards the unattended affective processes that underlie the link between GHRM practices and green employee outcomes through a coherent theoretical lens of AET. It spotlights that implementing GHRM practices as a strategic choice helps evoke HEP among employees, which is an essential determinant of employees' eco-friendly attitude and behavior.

Exploring the roles of personality traits and self-efficacy on environmental engagement: a Sri Lankan youth survey

Purpose Identifying the best predictors of environmental citizenship behavior (ECB) has been a major concern of both researchers and educators aimed at protecting environmental quality and sustain person-environment transactions. This study aims to examine the unique contribution of personality traits and self-efficacy beliefs to the ECB of university youth in Sri Lanka. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative research approach used. The internet-based survey method was used to collect data from undergraduates studying at six state universities and two nonstate universities. The measurement items of five personality traits, ECB and academic self-efficacy were adopted on established scales from the literature. Findings Multiple regression results revealed that the personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness and openness to experience, as well as academic self-efficacy, are significant predictors of ECB. Extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience significantly influenced academic self-efficacy. Model 6 of the PROCESS macro results indicated that academic self-efficacy partially mediated the contribution of extraversion, agreeableness and openness to experience traits to ECB. Practical implications These findings have broad implications for interventions aimed at enhancing youth environmental behavior. Whereas personality traits represent stable individual characteristics that mostly derive from individual hereditary endowment. Originality/value The study showed a holistic approach in explaining ECB that combined both personality traits and self-efficacy beliefs, indicating that they are interrelated and should not be treated in isolation.

The effect of Chinese-specific environmentally responsible leadership on the adoption of green innovation strategy

To examine how clean energy technology companies, achieve sustainable clean energy development, the present study proposes a new model that uses the upper echelons theory to describe how Chinese-specific environmentally responsible leadership (CERL) of chief executive officers (CEOs) influences a company's adoption of green innovation strategy (GIS) via the intermediary role of the environmental organizational citizenship behavior (EOCB) of top management teams (TMTs). The multilevel curve model is used to analyze a survey of 50 CEOs and 150 TMT members collected three times in 6 months, and the results of the analysis support all the hypotheses. The results have three important contributions to the energy and environment field. First, the present study is the first to propose CERL, and CERL can not only promote the development of environmental leadership in the Chinese environment but also achieve the goal of sustainable clean energy operations. Second, the present study employs a specific model to demonstrate how TMTs’ EOCB can transform companies’ strategic formulations into GIS through the CERL of CEOs. Finally, the present study addresses the cultural gap through CERL, so it makes a significant contribution to the energy and environment field from a cultural dimension.

The Role of Green Marketing and its Impact on Human Resource Management in Hotel Industry in the Context of Delhi NCR

The public's growing concern about environmental issues has sparked study into green policies, particularly in human resource management strategy. Despite the fact that the theme of green human resource management (GHRM), defined as an environmental management-oriented human resource management strategy, has recently gained popularity, previous research has largely ignored the indirect effects of employee environmental commitment and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) on the links between GHRM practices and corporate environmental performance; and the interactive influences of among and GHRM practices on corporate environmental performance. This work aims to bridge such research gaps by examining a new conceptual framework that explores the direct, indirect, and interactive roles of GHRM practices to organizations’ environmental performance by extending Ability-Motivation Opportunity and social exchange theories.

Factors Affecting Environmental Organizational Citizenship Behavior

Organisational Citizenship Behaviours directed towards the environment or can be called as Environmental Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCBE) is an individual engaging in voluntary and unrewarded environmental actions that go beyond their requirements. In order to lead individual in ecologically friendly behaviour, there are few values that need to be tested. The researcher used only three factors which are environmental concern, perceived organisational support and affective commitment. This study was conducted among the employees at Ministry of Work to identify whether these values have any significant influence with the OCBE in impacting the organisation to comply with the new environmental regulation in reducing negative environmental impacts. This is to help the organisation to address the needs that helps them to identify the possible factors that can influence the OCBE of the employees who works in their organisation. In this study, 200 questionnaires was distributed to the management sectors employee in the Ministry of Works. The researcher conducted reliability analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis in order to test the hypothesis. The finding results confirmed only one variable which was perceived organisational support that significantly influenced OCBE.

Green HRM as Predicator of Firm s Environmental Performance and Role of Employees Environmental Organizational Citizenship Behavior as Moderator

This study examines the effects of GHRM on environmental performance and the moderating role of environmental and organizational citizenship behavior in the telecommunications sector in Kabul, Afghanistan. The random sampling technique is used to collect the data from the corresponding respondents. Multiple regressions are used to obtain the study's numerical result. The result of the study is the following: The estimated coefficient of green recruitment and selection is 0.074, which is significantly high at 5 percent. These positive values indicate a positive relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection. There is a significant relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection. The top management commitment was found to have a significant (p = 0.048) estimate coefficient, where p <0.05, so we rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative hypothesis, green recruitment and selection and environmental performance have a significant relationship. There is a significant relationship between green performance management and environmental performance. A significant (p = 002) coefficient was found in green performance management, where p <0.05. Wereject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis by stating that green management performance and environmental performance are essential. There is a significant relationship between training, development, and environmental performance. This study also employs a robust and indirect effect to investigate a valid mediation. The product of OBCE and Green Recruitment and Selection show a significant positive indirect effect of green environmental and organizational citizenship behavior in the relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection, which accepts H4 of the study. The estimated coefficient of OBCE * Green Recruitment and Selection is 0.098. This implies that environmental and organizational citizenship behavior has played a critical role in the relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection because the coefficient of OBCE * Green Recruitment and Selection is greater than the estimated coefficient of green selection and recruitment. Keywords: GHRM; OBCE; Environmental Performance; Telecommunication; Afghanistan

Achieving organizational environmental citizenship behavior through green transformational leadership: a moderated mediation study

PurposeTransformational leadership has caught the significant attention of many academic scholars in the leadership domain. In recent studies, emphasis has been given on green transformational leaders who empower their subordinates, which, in turn, leads to employees’ discretionary behavior toward environmental management of the organization, which has been denoted as organizational environmental citizenship behavior. Organizational citizenship behavior has been strongly advocated as a means to improve the environmental performance of organizations. A green transformational leader encourages his subordinates to undertake activities that are beneficial to the organization’s environmental management, such as thinking about the sustainable development of the organization, solving environmental problems and contributing to the firm’s environmental performance. This study aims to investigate the domain of environmental leadership by examining the mechanism and conditions under which green transformational leaders induce organizational environmental citizenship behavior.Design/methodology/approachInformation technology (IT) firms across four major cities in India were considered for the survey to examine the proposed hypotheses. Online questionnaires were shared with 1,286 employees working across seven branches of IT companies. A total of 378 respondents completed the survey, but only 293 questionnaires were suitable for further analysis using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings of the study show that green transformational leadership promotes green empowerment and organizational citizenship behaviors toward the environment (OCBE) among the employees. It also reveals that environmental passion plays a key role in promoting eco-initiative and eco-helping behavior among the employees when they are empowered for green practices. Also, the influence of resource commitment fosters eco-civic engagement among the employees.Practical implicationsResults hold strong implications for human resource managers on how green transformational leadership approaches can help trigger organizational citizenship behavior among employees. Also, understanding the impact of green empowerment on employees’ involvement in extra-role behavior will help organizations to develop strategies to strengthen their sense of empowerment toward green practices.Originality/valueThis study attempts to investigate the impact of green transformational leadership on employees’ OCBE and the mechanisms through and conditions under which green transformational leadership may impact the indicators of OCBE. The study proposes a mechanism and social and psychological conditions that can potentially explain the linkages between green transformational leadership and OCBE: green empowerment, resource commitment and environmental passion.

The Moderating Role of Internal Locus of Control in the Relationship between Environmental Management and Organization Citizenship Behavior towards Environment

Concerns about environmental protection have risen to prominence as a global issue in recent years, and leaders and intellectuals must consider how to address it, Customers, suppliers, the public, and the government all expect that Organizations take on more environmental obligations nowadays. Environmental management measures are expanding in response, Environmental concern arises from individuals' set of values of themselves, their families or communities, plants, or animals and we expect that it show to be the biggest predictor of their tendency to engage in OCBE. Individuals are worried about the environment and are more likely to engage in environmentally beneficial activity if they believe that any harm done to the environment would in turn harm them, their friends, families, or animals. As a result, customers, employees and stakeholders are compelled to be ecologically friendly due to underlying values about the impact of their actions on the environment, their family, or future generations. This study suggests that employees who engage in environmentally friendly civic activities out of a moral imperative may also engage in comparable behaviors as workers. As a result, we believe that people who are concerned about the environment are more likely to engage in OCBEs than people who are less concerned. Therefore, the moderating role of internal locus of control have been analyzed in this study in the relationship between EM and OCBE, the result show that ILC significantly and positively affect OCBE, furthermore ILC do not moderate the relationship between EM and OCBE.

Linking Perceived Environmental CSR to Residents' Environmental Citizenship Behavior in Rural Tourism: The Mediating Role of Resident-Environment Relationship Quality.

Residents' environmental citizenship behavior is essential to the environmental protection and sustainable development of rural destinations. However, previous research with regards to environmental citizenship behavior has focused on an employee perspective, rather than a resident one. Through the theoretical lens of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, our research examined how perceived environmental CSR (ECSR) contributes to residents' environmental citizenship behavior, with resident-environment relationship quality acting as the organism. Data collected from a Chinese rural destination were analyzed with a structural equation modeling approach. Results indicate that: (1) perceived ECSR directly and positively influences residents' environmental citizenship behavior; (2) relationship quality variables (i.e., environmental identification and environmental commitment) directly and positively affect residents' environmental citizenship behavior; (3) environmental identification directly and positively affects environmental commitment; (4) relationship quality variables positively mediate the effect of perceived ECSR on residents' environmental citizenship behavior. The current research complements existing tourism literature on environmental citizenship behavior with a focus on perceived ECSR and relationship quality from the aspect of residents in rural destinations. The findings also provide some practical implications that potentially facilitate the adoption of environmental citizenship behavior among residents for sustainable destination management.

Goal self-concordance mediates the relation of core self-evaluations with organizational citizenship behavior but not with environmental organizational citizenship behavior

This paper tested antecedents of organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCB-E) and goal self-concordance as a mediator between those antecedents and OCB-E or related outcomes. We proposed that core self-evaluations, a well-studied antecedent of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), are also related to a newer form of OCB – namely, OCB-E. Similarly, we proposed that environmental identity, a well-studied antecedent of pro-environmental behaviors (PEBS), are also related to a specific form of PEBS – again, OCB-E. The specific relations of these antecedents to OCB-E, to the best of our knowledge, had never been tested. Drawing on the goal-self concordance model, we tested goal self-concordance as a mediating mechanism in each of these relationships. Results drawn from a sample of 297 employees from diverse organizations support goal self-concordance as a relevant mediator between core self-evaluations and OCB, but not for the remaining relationships. Still, environmental identity, as well as core self-evaluations, are positively and significantly related to OCB-E. We discuss implications for the conceptualization of OCB-E and ways to further study this concept.

Private landowners perceive positive impacts to their land stewardship following involvement in a conservation research program

AbstractConservation research programs can encourage conservation of biodiversity of working landscapes by influencing the conservation behaviors of private landowners who participate in the program. However, specific conservation behavior outcomes following landowner participation in a conservation research program, as well as the drivers that influence their engagement in these behaviors, remain unclear. We interviewed landowners that had provided property access to a Smithsonian conservation research program to conduct ecological research. We investigated (a) how landowners perceived participation in a conservation research program influenced their engagement in conservation behaviors and (b) how landowners perceived characteristics of the program influenced their engagement in conservation behaviors. We found that interviewees' perceived participation in a conservation research program influenced their engagement in land stewardship behaviors more commonly than social environmentalism or environmental citizenship behaviors. Interviewees perceived that program characteristics such as events, on‐site survey interactions, and landowner reports most frequently influenced their engagement in conservation behaviors. Our findings suggest that conservation programs may increase their influence on landowner conservation behavior engagement through fostering direct interactions among landowners, their peers, and researchers; training staff and citizen scientists in effective science communication skills; and tailoring program communications to their target audience.

Green Human Resource Management to Improve Competitive Advantage Through Organizational Citizenship Behaviour for Environment

Competitive advantage is one of the important aspects that must be owned by companies in a competitive market. Human resource management is one of the important things in the development of the company. The research focuses on human resource management based on environmental management, namely green HRM to create competitive advantage through employee behavior voluntarily to care for the environment or what can be called Organization Citizenship Behavior for Environment (OCBE). Literature study is used to see the relationship of each variable, the results of the analysis of previous research that examines green HRM, OCBE and competitive advantage. Research shows that environmental care behavior of employees voluntarily towards the environment is influenced by environmental-based HR management in the company and this affects the company's competitive advantage.
