摘要

随着资源稀缺和环境污染等全球性挑战的出现，以长远发展、社会责任和生态可持续性为核心的可持续领导力受到了广泛关注。本研究以社会认知理论为基础，探讨可持续领导对员工亲环境行为的影响机制和边界条件。设计/方法/途径通过对中国大陆地区366名员工的两波调查，验证了未来取向的中介作用和道德注意的调节作用。研究结果表明，可持续领导通过增强员工的未来取向，显著促进员工的亲环境行为。道德关注通过未来导向正向调节可持续领导对员工亲环境行为的影响。研究启示这些发现强调了组织培养可持续领导和培养可持续意识的重要性。具体来说，组织应该促进对可持续性概念的认可，并鼓励员工优先考虑长期思考。此外，培养员工的道德关注至关重要，他们更倾向于采用和模仿可持续领导者对未来的关注，从而表现出亲环境的行为。本研究有助于更全面地理解员工亲环境行为的形成和边界条件，补充了可持续领导的实证验证。

Follow and go beyond: The impact of sustainable leadership on employees' pro-environmental behaviors

Purpose

Along with global challenges from resource scarcity and environmental pollution, sustainable leadership focusing on long-term development, social responsibility, and ecological sustainability has attracted widespread attention. Drawing upon Social Cognitive Theory, the primary objective of this study is to examine the influence mechanism and boundary condition of sustainable leadership on employees' pro-environmental behaviors.

Design/methodology/approach

Through a two-wave survey on 366 employees in Mainland China, the mediating effect of future orientation and the moderating effect of moral attentiveness were validated.

Findings

The study findings indicate that sustainable leadership significantly fosters employees' pro-environmental behaviors by enhancing their future orientation. Moral attentiveness positively moderates the impact of sustainable leadership on employees' pro-environmental behaviors through future orientation.

Research implications

These findings highlight the importance for organizations to cultivate sustainable leadership and foster awareness of sustainability. Specifically, organizations should promote the recognition of sustainability concepts and encourage employees to prioritize long-term thinking. Moreover, it is essential to nurture moral attentiveness among employees, they are more inclined to adopt and emulate the sustainable leader's concern for the future, thereby exhibiting pro-environmental behaviors.

Originality

The study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the formation and boundary conditions of employees' pro-environmental behaviors and complements the empirical validation of sustainable leadership.

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
