Abstract

Employing social cognitive theory, we developed a moderated mediation model to examine how environmentally specific servant leadership influences newcomers' nongreen behaviors. Through a cross-sectional survey we collected valid data from 307 participants in Shandong Province in China. Empirical results of testing our proposed theoretical framework and hypotheses indicated that environmentally specific servant leadership was effective in reducing newcomers' nongreen behaviors, and that newcomers' perceived green psychological climate mediated this negative relationship. Individual newcomers' environmental beliefs strengthened both the direct influence of environmentally specific servant leadership on green psychological climate and the indirect impact of environmentally specific servant leadership on newcomers' nongreen behaviors via their perception of green psychological climate. This study expands knowledge of environmentally specific servant leadership by illustrating how to reduce and prevent newcomers' nongreen behaviors, and provides insight into how to stimulate newcomers' environmental behaviors.

以身作则:环境特定服务型领导对新人非绿色行为的影响

运用社会认知理论，我们建立了一个适度中介模型来考察特定环境的仆人领导如何影响新来者的非绿色行为。通过横断面调查，我们收集了来自中国山东省307名参与者的有效数据。测试我们提出的理论框架和假设的实证结果表明，环境特定的仆人领导在减少新来者的非绿色行为方面是有效的，而新来者感知的绿色心理氛围介导了这种负面关系。个体新来者的环境信念强化了环境特定仆人领导对绿色心理气候的直接影响，也强化了环境特有仆人领导通过感知绿色心理气候对新来者非绿色行为的间接影响。本研究通过说明如何减少和预防新来者的非绿色行为，扩展了环境特定仆人领导的知识，并深入了解了如何激发新来者的环境行为。
