Abstract

This study examines the indirect effect of sustainability-oriented leadership (SOL) on eco-friendly innovative behaviors (EFIBs) through environmental awareness (EA) based on social exchange theory. Additionally, it investigates the conditional role of proactive personality (PP) on the “SOL-EA” relationship. The authors collected data from 284 manufacturing SMEs in Poland using a time-lagged two-stage design, and employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses. The empirical findings reveal that SOL impact employees’ EFIBs significantly indirectly (through EA), and PP amplifies the impact of SOL on EA. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to empirically test the integrated relationships among SOL, EFIBs, EA, and PP. This study contributes theoretically to the literature on leadership, innovation management, and employee behaviors from the perspective of a developed country.

员工的环保创新行为：考察个人和情境因素的作用

本研究以社会交换理论为基础，探讨了可持续发展导向型领导力（SOL）通过环境意识（EA）对生态友好型创新行为（EFIBs）的间接影响。此外，研究还探讨了积极主动型人格（PP）对 "SOL-EA "关系的条件作用。作者采用时滞两阶段设计收集了波兰 284 家制造业中小型企业的数据，并采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对提出的假设进行了检验。实证研究结果表明，SOL 间接（通过 EA）影响了员工的 EFIBs，而 PP 放大了 SOL 对 EA 的影响。据我们所知，本研究是首次对 SOL、EFIBs、EA 和 PP 之间的综合关系进行实证检验的研究。本研究从发达国家的视角出发，对有关领导力、创新管理和员工行为的文献做出了理论上的贡献。

期刊介绍： The European Management Journal (EMJ) stands as a premier scholarly publication, disseminating cutting-edge research spanning all realms of management. EMJ articles challenge conventional wisdom through rigorously informed empirical and theoretical inquiries, offering fresh insights and innovative perspectives on key management themes while remaining accessible and engaging for a wide readership. EMJ articles embody intellectual curiosity and embrace diverse methodological approaches, yielding contributions that significantly influence both management theory and practice. We actively seek interdisciplinary research that integrates distinct research traditions to illuminate contemporary challenges within the expansive domain of European business and management. We strongly encourage cross-cultural investigations addressing the unique challenges faced by European management scholarship and practice in navigating global issues and contexts.
