A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the influence of individual biospheric values on workplace pro-environmental behaviour via self-efficacy and outcome-efficacy. While previous research has explored how different variables play a role in this relationship, we extend by proposing efficacy as an underlying mechanism. An online survey was conducted among employees (N=93). To test our reasoning we conducted a Pearson's correlation and two mediation analyses. As hypothesized, employees with stronger individual biospheric values were more likely to engage in workplace pro-environmental behaviours. Importantly, the mediation analyses found both self-efficacy and outcome-efficacy to be significant mediators in the relationship between individual biospheric values and workplace pro-environmental behaviors. Our findings suggest theoretical and practical implications, namely that organisations could foster a more sustainable workplace by tailoring their interventions through individual biospheric values and efficacy.
