Abstract
Climate change is a global threat, not only for individuals but also for businesses and the global infrastructure. Finding ways of motivating people to take action to reduce climate change is of utter importance, and for that reason, the current study aims to find out what influences people to take environmental action as part of their jobs in the form of in-role workplace pro-environmental behaviors (WPEBs). We present findings from a questionnaire study (n=93), which investigated whether biospheric values are related to WPEBs, for which we found support. Additionally, we found evidence for our other two hypotheses, proposing an influential role of both self- and outcome efficacy in the above-mentioned relationship. The current study, therefore, confirms the already established value-behavior relation and adds a possible explanation for that link via two efficacy beliefs. While the study has some limitations, for instance, that we initially planned to manipulate efficacy but ended up with too few participants for doing so, the results are still valuable since they provide insight into the rarely studied relation between efficacy and the value-behavior relation. Keywords: Individual Biospheric Values, Self-Efficacy, Outcome Efficacy, Workplace Pro-Environmental Behaviors
