Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility and Workplace Pro-Environmental Behaviors: Person-Organization Fit and...

Organizations' environmental performance has come increasingly under scrutiny given the need for sustainable, low-carbon economies. Workers' pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) can contribute to greener operations, but research on workplace PEBs is still an emerging field. This study examined how employees' perceptions of environmental corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies and practices are related to their self-reported voluntary PEBs, including person-organization fit (P-O fit) and organizational identification's role as sequential mediators. Data were gathered from 178 workers from different organizations via an online survey. The results reveal a positive relationship between perceived environmental CSR practices and work PEBs, which are both directly and indirectly connected through P-O fit and organizational identification. Managers can thus use environmental CSR activities to capitalize on employees' P-O fit and organizational identification, thereby fostering work PEBS.
