Brenton M. Wiernik, Deniz S. Ones, Stephan Dilchert and Rachael M. Klein

Chapter 4 in Research Handbook on Employee Pro-Environmental Behaviour, 2018, pp 63-82 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter reviews research on the individual antecedents of pro-environmental behaviours and discusses implications of these antecedents for understanding, predicting, and managing employee green behaviours. We review meta-analytic findings on the contributions of environmental awareness/knowledge, environmental attitudes, stable individual differences, demographic characteristics, and interventions on individual pro-environmental behaviour. We also review recent primary studies examining the impact of these antecedents on employee green behaviours in the workplace. Throughout the chapter, we consider the implications of research findings for improving employee environmental performance using human resource management.
