Organizational green culture and employees’ green behavior: a moderated mediation model with employees’ environmental awareness and organizational disseminative capacity

ABSTRACT

Based on the social information processing theory, a conceptual model was proposed in which employees’ environmental awareness was considered a mediator and organizational knowledge disseminative capacity was considered a moderator to deeply analyze the effect of organizational green culture on employees’ green behavior. The method of multi-regression analysis and structural equation modeling were used to verify the hypotheses based on the results of the questionnaire of 321 employees. The results show that organizational green culture has a positive effect on employees’ green behavior; two dimensions of employees’ environmental awareness have a positive direct effect on employees’ green behavior; employees’ environmental awareness has a mediating effect on the relationship between organizational green culture and employees’ green behavior; and organizational knowledge disseminative capacity moderates the relationship between organizational green culture and employees’ environmental awareness.

摘要

本研究基于社会信息加工理论，引入员工环境意识为中介变量，组织知识扩散能力为调节变量，探讨了组织绿色文化对员工绿色行为影响。采用多元回归分析和结构方程模型方法对321名员工的问卷数据进行分析。研究发现，组织绿色文化正向影响员工绿色行为；员工环境意识的两个维度均正向影响员工绿色行为，且员工环境意识在组织绿色文化与员工绿色行为间发挥中介作用；组织知识扩散能力正向调节了组织绿色文化与员工环境意识之间的关系。
