Abstract
Recent research has increasingly focused on the impact of green involvement on employee green creativity. The positive association between green involvement and employee green actions has long been recognized in literature. However, the potential adverse effects associated with green involvement have been largely overlooked. In our paper, drawing upon the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, we propose that there is a double-edged sword effect of green involvement on employee green creativity. To test our theoretical model, we collected time-lagged data from 1059 employees working at 150 companies. The findings provide empirical support for the dual impact of green involvement on employee green creativity. Specifically, we find that green involvement significantly influences employee autonomous motivation and green pressure, and employee environmental commitment serves as a moderator for these impacts. The results further show that the positive effect of green involvement on employee green creativity is mediated by autonomous motivation. Although the the mediating role of green pressure has not been supported, the results also provide insightful implications. Incorporating insights from previous literature, we further discussed the theoretical and practical applications of the results.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
