Psychosocial Factors of Pro-Environmental Behavior at the Workplace

The purpose of this study is to investigate psychosocial determinants of pro-environmental behavior at workplace. Environmental behavior at work is less researched compared to personal environmental behavior. Data obtained from a survey of employees of private companies (N=140) showed a significant relationship between selected psychosocial factors (corporate environmental responsibility, environmental identity and personal environmental norms, motivation, organizational citizenship behavior) and environmental behavior at work. Using moderation analysis, we found the absence of the effect of organizational citizenship behavior on the relationship between variables (corporate environmental responsibility, environmental identity, personal environmental norms and environmental motivation) and employees’ pro-environmental behavior. The results of this study, being one of the first ones in Russia, to investigate pro-environmental behaviour at work, help to further understand the specifics of environmental behavior at work. Results will be of significance for companies interested in promoting pro-environmental behaviour among their employees. Key words: Pro-environmental behavior at work, psychosocial factors of pro-environmental behavior, organizational sustainability policies.
