A Conceptual Framework for Pro-Environmental Behaviour in Organisations: The Mediating Role of Green Knowledge Sharing in Corporate Social Responsibility

Abstract

This study develops a comprehensive conceptual framework of employees’ pro-environmental behaviour within organisations, grounded in Social Identity Theory (SIT). The paper examines how green knowledge sharing mediates the relationship between corporate social responsibility and pro-environmental behaviour. The proposed model contributes to organisational greening by fostering engagement in sustainable practices. The findings offer novel insights into evaluating pro-environmental behaviour, which influences the Environmental Management (EM) programmes implemented by organisations. This research enhances our understanding of employee behaviour from an environmental perspective, with significant implications for policymakers, organisational leaders, and society in advancing sustainable development initiatives.
