Abstract

The success of corporate environmental initiatives depends, among other things, on the willingness of individual employees to engage in the pro-environmental actions which not only contribute to the greening of organizations but also positively affect climate change and prevent further environmental degradation. However, development of research and practice in this domain is restricted by extensively diversified terminology, fragmented catalogues of behaviors and incoherent measurement approaches. From a variety of terms describing such behaviors, the concept of Employee Green Behaviors (EGB) is the most comprehensive one. The aim of this seminar is to present the concept of EGB, its dimensions (categories of behavior), together with results of the study verifying a measuring scale of EGB and first rough conclusions from a survey investigating organizational context of EGB.
