Track: Business Management

Abstract

Sustaining a promising future for the earth and its neighbours are the core principle of sustainable growth. Several studies proved that human activities are among the major causes of environmental problems, pro-environmental behaviour crucial for the future. The present study aims to foster and enhance more sustainable behaviour in households, workplaces, schools, and higher educational institutions. Previous research has placed increasing attention on the identification of factors of pro-environmental behaviour. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the elements influencing the pro-environmental behaviour of employees in the workplace. A survey was performed from January to February 2020 on 84 employees of an organisation in Terengganu. In line with this study prediction, it was found that green self-efficacy positively affected pro-environmental behaviour. However, the impacts of environmental commitment, environmental consciousness, green lifestyles, and green human resource management were insignificant. Provided that data were developed using a cross-sectional design, the assessment of causality among the constructs was a risky process. Furthermore, the study collected data from a single source, namely the employees, which would enhance the relationships through common method bias. The findings of this study also offered several managerial implications for green organisations.
