Study on the Impact of Mindfulness on Employee Green Behavior

Abstract

Employee green behavior is a key driver of sustainable competitive advantage. Many academic scholars and practical managers explore how to promote employee green behavior. In the context of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, more and more enterprises are carrying out green transformation strategy. Employee green behavior also plays an important role in this process. This paper elaborates a theoretical framework that relates mindfulness to employee green behavior. We argue organizational identification plays a prominent mediating role in enhancing employee green behavior. Using survey data from a sample of 211 employees, we demonstrated that mindfulness has a positive impact on employee green behavior through organizational identification. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
