Abstract
Climate change poses threats to both nature and people. The current study sought to address the question of how we can make time spent at work more sustainable by investigating the relationship between individual, as well as perceived organizational biospheric values and in-role workplace pro-environmental behaviors (WPEBs). Moreover, we investigated the role of self-efficacy in this relationship. We conducted a study via an online questionnaire (N = 93) and found that individual, as well as perceived organizational biospheric values, are linked to WPEBs. Furthermore, results indicated that individual and perceived organizational biospheric values are linked to WPEBs through self-efficacy. We conclude that stronger self-efficacy beliefs may motivate employees to act on their own, as well as their perceived organizational biospheric values, which promotes more WPEBs. Future research could test whether increasing efficacy beliefs indeed leads to more WPEBs experimentally. Organizations could leverage our findings by creating interventions aimed at raising perceived organizational biospheric values and self-efficacy beliefs, which may encourage more environmentally friendly behavior in the workplace.
