Abstract
This study addresses a research gap regarding the factors that encourage proactive green workplace behaviors. Namely, the study aims to investigate proactive green workplace behaviors by identifying their key contextual antecedents and finding ways to foster their development within the organization. The theoretical grounding is exemplified with the empirical study based upon individual interviews with firms' representatives. Study results contribute to the conceptualization of proactive green workplace behavior. The results, in particular, contribute to identifying organizational factors that promote proactive green workplace behaviors and highlight the significance of human resource management practices, organizational culture, and leadership. The study found that leadership and organizational culture are crucial in influencing pro‐environmental values, beliefs, and norms that promote green workplace behaviors. Given the above, this research can also be viewed as an extension of the value‐belief‐norm (VBN) theory of environmentalism, which incorporates an organizational aspect.
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.
