Abstract:
This study explores the influence of corporate environmental strategies on voluntary
workplace green behaviour among employees, with a particular focus on the mediating
role of psychological green climate. The research was conducted through a survey of
bank employees in the Batticalop district of Sri Lanka. In recent years, organizations
have increasingly recognized {the importance of environmental sustainability,
implementing various strategies to promote green behaviours within the workplace.
This study aims to identify how these strategies impact employees' voluntary workplace
green behaviours and the extent to which a psychological green climate serves as a
mediator in this relationship.
Using a quantitative research approach, data was collected from a sample of bank
employees through structured questionnaires. The results indicate that corporate
environmental strategies significantly influence voluntary workplace green behaviour,
and this relationship is panially mediated by the psychological green climate.
Employees who perceive a strong corporate environmental strategy to environmental
sustainability are more likely to engage in green behaviours voluntarily within
workplace. Additionally, the findings highlight that creating a psychological green
climate within the workplace can enhance the effectiveness of corporate environmental
strategies, leading to a more environmentally conscious workforce. It reveals that when
employees feel their organization genuinely prioritizes environmental issues, they are
more likely to take initiative in adopting voluntary workplace green behaviour beyond
their formal job requirements.
Further, A deeper understanding of the corporate environmental strategy among
employees is crucial for increasing voluntary workplace green behaviour. Therefore,
the results of the study suggest that corporate environmental strategy and psychological
green climate are significant factors that influence voluntary workplace green
behaviour.
