Environmental CSR and pro-environmental behaviors to reduce environmental dilapidation
Purpose: It is evident that organizations are continuously contributing toward environmental dilapidation. This may be reduced by focusing their employees’ involvement in pro-environmental behaviors. Pro-environmental behaviors have ramifications for organizations, employees, leaders and natural environment. Therefore, this study aims at investigating environmental related social responsibility and identification as the predictors of pro-environmental behaviors through the moderating role of empathy in the hospitality sector. Design/methodology/approach: This study collected data from 201 pairs (i.e. supervisors and their subordinates) working in the hospitality sector. Findings: The study found that employees with high empathy exhibit more pro-environmental behavior and organizational identification when perceiving their organization’s involvement in environment-related social responsibilities. Research limitations/implications: The data for this study were collected at one point of time and it has implications for organizations and employees. Originality/value: This study aims to fill the gap of the underlying mechanism that how perceived CSR affect employee pro-environmental behavior.
