Abstract

A concerning surge in pollution has drawn increased attention to sustainability efforts. The lack of environmentally conscious human behavior contributes significantly to environmental degradation. This research explores the impact of perceived colleague support towards the environment (PCSE) as a catalyst for promoting employees' green initiatives. Underpinned by the conservation of resources (COR) theory, the study reveals a sequential chain mediation model, wherein PCSE initiates a process leading to voluntary pro‐environmental behavior (VPEB) among employees, facilitated by green crafting (GC) and a supportive green organization climate (GOC). Additionally, the study examines the moderating role of psychological empowerment (PE) on the relationship between GC and GOC. Data were collected at two‐wav points with a 2‐week gap from the Pakistani textile sector. Results indicate that GC and GOC serially mediate the relationship between PCSE and VPEB of employees. Furthermore, the results support the mediation of GOC between PCSE and VPEB. However, the results did not support the moderating impact of PE. The study discusses important theoretical and practical implications for fostering green initiatives among employees.

了解同事中的自愿环保行为：绿色工艺、心理授权和绿色组织氛围的作用

令人担忧的污染激增已引起人们对可持续发展努力的更多关注。人类缺乏环保意识的行为在很大程度上导致了环境恶化。本研究探讨了感知到的同事对环境的支持（PCSE）作为促进员工绿色行动的催化剂的影响。在资源保护（COR）理论的支持下，研究揭示了一个顺序链中介模型，即 PCSE 在绿色工艺（GC）和支持性绿色组织氛围（GOC）的促进下，启动了一个导致员工自愿环保行为（VPEB）的过程。此外，本研究还探讨了心理授权（PE）对 GC 和 GOC 之间关系的调节作用。数据收集于巴基斯坦纺织行业的两个波峰点，中间间隔两周。结果表明，GC 和 GOC 对员工 PCSE 和 VPEB 之间的关系起到了串联中介作用。此外，结果还支持 GOC 在 PCSE 和 VPEB 之间的中介作用。然而，结果并不支持 PE 的调节作用。本研究探讨了在员工中推广绿色倡议的重要理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
