Abstract

Academics are emphasizing the necessity of altering the behaviour of public officials to enhance their ecological efficiency, rather than depending exclusively on technological advancements. The shift in focus has been prompted by the sluggish and ineffective performance of public servants. Governmental organisations in well-developed Western economies have instituted policies with the objective of mitigating the environmental footprint of their activities. In developing economies, although there are no established protocols, public employees possess the capacity to voluntarily engage in diverse environmentally friendly initiatives. The inquiry is approached through the implementation of a theoretical structure that is founded on eco-initiative, environmental commitment, public service motivation (PSM), and organisational citizenship behaviour towards the environment (OCBE). An analysis was conducted on the participation of individual eco-initiatives among 600 employees in the capital city of Indonesia, based on collected data. The purpose was achieved through the utilisation of Structural Equation Modelling. The findings of our study suggest that PSM, environmental commitment, and OCBE are significant predictors of ecoinitiative in the public workplace. The discourse underscores the importance of individual employee motivation in self-initiated endeavours that advance effective public service while scrutinizing the impact of formalism which is still highly significant for Indonesians today.

绿化公共组织：支持环保的公务员是否有参与空间？

学术界正在强调有必要改变公职人员的行为，以提高其生态效率，而不是完全依赖技术进步。公职人员的低迷和低效表现促使人们转变关注点。西方发达经济体的政府组织已制定政策，旨在减少其活动对环境的影响。在发展中经济体，虽然没有既定的规程，但公职人员有能力自愿参与各种环境友好型活动。本研究采用的理论结构建立在生态倡议、环境承诺、公共服务动机（PSM）和组织公民环境行为（OCBE）的基础之上。根据收集到的数据，对印度尼西亚首都 600 名员工参与个人生态倡议的情况进行了分析。我们利用结构方程模型实现了这一目的。研究结果表明，PSM、环境承诺和 OCBE 是公共工作场所生态倡议的重要预测因素。这些论述强调了员工个人积极性在自主努力推动有效公共服务方面的重要性，同时也审视了形式主义的影响，因为形式主义对当今的印尼人来说仍然非常重要。
