Resumen
Este estudio introduce una nueva escala para medir los comportamientos ecológicos de los empleados (EGB) basados en la proximidad de la meta. Esta escala validada capta la multidimensionalidad de EGB, ofreciendo una nueva perspectiva sobre las acciones ambientales en el trabajo.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Psicología ambiental
- Comportamiento organizacional
- Ciencia de la sostenibilidad
Sus antecedentes:
- Los comportamientos ecológicos de los empleados (EGB) son cada vez más importantes, pero se necesita un desarrollo conceptual y de escala.
- Las distinciones existentes (por ejemplo, directa e indirecta) pueden no captar completamente los matices de EGB.
- El marco de los Cinco Verdes ofrece una base potencial para una conceptualización más adecuada.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar y validar una nueva escala para medir los comportamientos ecológicos de los empleados (EGB).
- Introducir una distinción conceptual para el EGB basada en la proximidad del objetivo.
- Evaluar las propiedades psicométricas y la red nomológica de la nueva escala EGB.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizó el análisis de factores de confirmación (CFA) para evaluar la validez de la construcción.
- El análisis de regresión múltiple examinó las asociaciones dentro de la red nomológica.
- Se recopilaron datos de 455 participantes en el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos.
Principales resultados:
- La nueva escala EGB demostró buenas propiedades psicométricas.
- La escala captura efectivamente la multidimensionalidad de los comportamientos ecológicos de los empleados.
- La distinción de proximidad a la meta resultó más apropiada desde el punto de vista conceptual que la directa e indirecta.
Conclusiones:
- Se ha desarrollado una nueva escala psicométrica para medir la EGB basada en la proximidad de la meta.
- Este enfoque mejora la comprensión teórica de la EGB al centrarse en los resultados conductuales.
- Los hallazgos integran múltiples conceptualizaciones para profundizar en el estudio de la EGB.

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

The five-factor model, often called the Big Five personality traits, is widely accepted in psychology as a comprehensive framework for understanding personality. These five traits — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism — are often remembered using the acronym OCEAN.
Openness reflects creativity, curiosity, and openness to new experiences. Individuals scoring high in openness are imaginative, have a wide range of interests, and are independent...

01:18Incentive Theory: Pull Theory of Motivation
545
Incentive theory, or the "pull theory" of motivation, suggests that external rewards primarily drive behavior. Individuals are motivated to engage in activities when they anticipate a desirable outcome. This is why people often work hard for promotions or study intensively to achieve high grades. These incentives can be tangible, physical rewards such as money or promotions, or intangible, non-physical rewards like praise and social recognition.

Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...

01:37Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

01:27Drive-Reduction Theory: Push Theory of Motivation
558
Clark Hull's drive-reduction theory, introduced in the 1940s and 1950s and often termed the "push theory" of motivation, provides a framework for understanding how biological and learned drives influence behavior. Hull suggested that motivation originates from the need to alleviate physiological tension caused by unmet biological necessities. The theory proposes that when a basic need, such as hunger or sleep, goes unfulfilled, it creates an internal imbalance. This imbalance, or...
