A cross-sectional survey was carried out in 20 manufacturing organisations in India and 383 useful individual responses were collected. The proposed model has been tested with the help of structural regression analysis.FindingsThe results of the study show that both individual characteristics as well as organisational efforts influence employees’ pro-environmental behaviours. However, the effect varies as per the type of behaviour. Personal norm mediates the relationship between subjective social norm and two types of pro-environmental behaviours.Research limitations/implicationsAn individu...

Growing importance of pro-environmental behaviours has made it imperative to study the same in organisational settings. The purpose of the present article is to present a framework to explain pro-environmental behaviours at workplace. Authors reviewed employee-centric sustainability literature in the management discipline and pro-environmental behaviours related literature from psychology and social psychology. Based on the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory, corporate environmentalism framework and literature on norm theory, a conceptual framework for explaining pro-environmental behaviours at workplace was proposed. Authors argue that individual characteristics such as values and environmental belief, and organisational environmentalism will influence the employees’ pro-environmental behaviours through personal and social norm, respectively.

The mediating role of environmental belief in these relationships is also investigated. To achieve this cross sectional survey research was conducted in two Indian universities and 332 students doing engineering or management course responded to the survey. The regression analysis results show that health consciousness has positive relationship with pro-environmental behaviours. In case of material values only one sub dimension namely 'centrality of acquisition' has negative relationship with pro-environmental behaviour. Environmental belief did not mediate any relationship. Article discusses the limitations and future scope of research.
