Corporate social responsibility, workplace spirituality and their effects on green promotive and prohibitive voice behaviours

ABSTRACT

Despite plenty of studies on employees’ pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, green promotive behaviour (GPromVB) and green prohibitive voice behaviour (GProhVB) and their predictors have not been investigated so far. With this realization, our paper explores the interrelationships of corporate social responsibility (CSR), workplace spirituality (WPS), GPromVB, and GProhVB. Data collected from hotel employees in two waves and their supervisors in Northern Cyprus were tapped to gauge the aforementioned associations via structural equation modelling. Results implicitly reveal that employees’ favourable perceptions of CSR enhance their feelings of WPS, which in turn leads to GPromVB and GProhVB at elevated levels. In conclusion, WPS mediates the effect of CSR on GPromVB and GProhVB. Based on these findings, our paper offers implications for the industry and academia.
