Abstract: Taking into account the importance of improving organizational environmental performance, the current study examines the drivers of workplace environmentally friendly behaviour (WEFB) of employees in a public organization. Multiple regression analysis with data from sample of 59 employees was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Results show that harmonious environmental passion of employees and organizational environmental support are significantly related to WEFB. Furthermore, our findings show that gender and perceived incomes also influence the workplace environmentally friendly behaviour of employees. The obtained findings may add knowledge to this field since previous investigations have paid little attention to the determinants of WEFB in the public sector. Besides, the findings have practical implications, suggesting that public organizations should demonstrate their environmental commitment to their employees. Providing employees with information to develop environmentally friendly behaviours at work could support those organizations interested in improving their environmental performance.
