Abstract: Abstract Covid-19 triggered health crises, lockdowns and travel restrictions that brought about overwhelming economic and social disruptions. While lockdowns have lowered air and noise pollution, this shift in lifestyle has increased waste products resulting from single-use plastics and medical wastes which are detrimental to the environment. The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) declined from a score of 47.9 in the year 2020 to the current score of 35, which ranked Malaysia far behind neighbouring countries like Singapore and Thailand. This responsibility to rebuild a greener environment should not be restricted to regulatory authorities or corporations but should involve all individuals. The personal green value may influence the pro-environmental behaviours of employees towards successful environmental management. Organisations implement various green management practices into their operations to strengthen environmental performance. This study aims to examine the extent to which green management practices can impact employees’ green values, especially during the post-Covid-19 phase in Malaysia. The research will use a questionnaire survey of 450 employees and structural equation modelling for data analysis. The findings could enlighten businesses and organisations on green management practices that could enhance employees’ green values at the workplace to promote a sustainable environment and contribution toward building a better future.
