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.

Abstract

In order to face climate change, we must first understand what promotes pro-environmental behaviour; therefore this study aims to further understand the relationship between individual biospheric values and workplace pro-environmental behaviour (WPEB). We examined if stronger individual biospheric values increase the likelihood of WPEB (H1), meaning the more employees value the environment the more they will engage in in-role WPEB. Furthermore, we examined if this relationship would be influenced by perceived self-efficacy (H2) and outcome efficacy (H3) respectively. This study used a convenience sample of 93 participants. Our results confirmed the connection between strong biospheric values and increased WPEB. Additionally, our findings suggest that both perceived self-efficacy and outcome efficacy respectively have a significant influence on this relationship. Based on these findings we present both theoretical and practical implications. Keywords: biospheric values; self-efficacy; outcome efficacy; workplace pro- environmental behaviour
