“…The theory of planned behaviour developed by Aizen [70] has been applied to determine how the attitudes of managers influence the environmental decision-making process. Some studies have shown that the environmental behaviour of employees is strongly influenced by their intention to gain green knowledge and their daily green behavioural practices in the organisation [71,72]. Chou [73] used two-level linear hierarchical models that included factors at the individual and group levels that significantly reflect employees' environmental beliefs and behaviour.…”

Global business entities face the challenge of incremental pressures to restructure their strategic alignments and capabilities to be in accordance with the sustainable development initiatives of the United Nations. This study endeavours to investigate the mediating role of employees’ green motivations in the relationships of environmental ethics, the institutional environment, and managerial support with the green behaviour of companies in the Malaysian food manufacturing industry. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey completed by 230 respondents to achieve the study objectives. The respondents consisted of CEOs, company managers, marketing managers, human resources department managers, concerned authorities from environmental protection departments, and producers in the Malaysian food manufacturing industry. The study found that environmental ethics, the institutional environment and managerial support play significant roles in motivating employees’ green activities within organisations, while employees’ green motivation substantially contributes to the green behaviour of the company. This study also revealed that employees’ green motivation plays an important mediating role in the relationships of environmental ethics, the institutional environment, and managerial support with the green behaviour of the company. The implications of this study will be important for allowing governments to take instantaneous action for their climate change pledges to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) following the Paris Accord of 2015 and the Marrakech Proclamation of 2016.

“…We included Schwartz’s norm activation theory because of its successful application in multicountry analyses of pro-environmental behavior (e.g., Schultz & Zelezny, 1998). We selected the theory of reasoned action based on the studies by management researchers that have successfully included attitude and norm components in their analyses of environmental management practices in corporate settings (e.g., Cordano & Frieze, 2000; Flannery & May, 2000). The third research perspective that we selected was a values-beliefs-norms model (Stern, Dietz, Abel, Guagnano, & Kalof, 1999) that successfully integrates multiple streams of research such as the studies that use the New Environmental Paradigm Scale (Dunlap & Van Liere, 1978) and the values research examining pro-environmental behavior (e.g., McCarty & Shrum, 1994).…”

We surveyed business students in the United States (n = 256) and Chile (n = 310) to compare three theories of pro-environmental behavior.We examined Ajzen and Fishbein's theory of reasoned action, Schawartz's norm activation theory, and the values-beliefs-norms theory created by Stern, Dietz, Abel, Guagnano, and Kalof. We produced reliable measures for both samples. Each theory explained a significant amount of the variance in behavioral intention, although no theory clearly dominated for either the United States or Chile. However, among the variables included among these theories, Article at East Tennessee State University

“…For example, researchers have used Ajzen's theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) to examine how environmental concern influences preferences for the use of leading-edge environmental practices. These studies found that environmental attitudes and subjective norms influenced decisions with environmental performance implications such as the treatment of hazardous wastewater (Flannery & May, 2000) and the implementation of pollution prevention activities (Cordano & Frieze, 2000). This research provides growing support for the argument that environmentally sensitive managers are more likely to consider environmental issues when making decisions that affect the environmental performance of their organizations.…”

Recently, management educators have proposed that colleges of business should enrich their curricula with environmental topics. However, there has been little research assessing how environmental materials affect business students. In this study, the authors examine the effect of a required course using six different measures of environmental concern. They found that business students expressed greater levels of environmental concern on each of the six measures at the end of this course. The authors discuss these results given the proposals to include environmental topics in business courses and suggest how to incorporate environmental materials into these courses.
