“…At present, economic development has inevitably brought about issues related to environmental pollution in China, including climate change, sewage discharge, and biodiversity loss. Such environmental issues are directly or indirectly caused by people's daily behaviors [1]. As organizations draw essential inputs from the natural environment, the sustainability of business depends greatly on their treatment of the natural environment [2].…”

Drawing on cognitive-affective system theory, this study proposes that employees’ perceived green human resource management (HRM) influences employees’ workplace green behaviors through two psychological processes: the cognitive and the affective route. By analysing 358 questionnaires collected from Chinese firms in the oil and mining industry, we obtain evidence in support of our predictions, finding that employees’ perceived green HRM positively impacts their voluntary workplace green behaviors and green creativity. Additionally, green psychological climate and harmonious environmental passion are found to partially mediate the relationship between employees’ perceived green HRM and voluntary workplace green behavior while harmonious environmental passion is found to fully mediate the relationship between perceived green HRM and green creativity. These findings shed light on the importance of green HRM in shaping employees’ proactive workplace green behaviors and uncover how green HRM transforms employees’ cognitive, affective, and motivational (CAM) factors into green actions.

“…Such a consumer tends to sort waste more often [67,68], use sustainable transport [66], prioritize organic products [69], and engage in pro-environmental action [67]. According to researchers [11,29,67,[70][71][72], pro-environmental self-identity positively influences consumer pro-environmental and pro-social engagement in sustainable consumption.…”

“…Pro-environmental commitment is another important factor that determines proenvironmental and pro-social engagement in sustainable consumption. Committed consumers make an effort to engage in sustainable behavior [70], even if this requires sacrifice [71], for example, paying a higher price for organic food [72]. Pro-environmental commitment determines greater motivation [73] and the desire to correct one's own behavior for the sake of the preservation of the environment [70].…”

Sustainable consumption, provision of a clean and healthy environment, as well as improvements to the quality of life of current and future generations, are all integral parts of the sustainable development strategy, which is understood as a compromise between the environmental, economic and social objectives of society. The pro-environmental and pro-social consumer engagement in sustainable consumption may lead to behavioral change, thus contributing to the resolution of current global challenges. Although recently the pro-environmental and pro-social engagement concept has received considerable attention, there is still no consensus on what determines it. Moreover, the recent research is limited to identifying individual factors of this phenomenon. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the factors that determine pro-environmental and pro-social consumer engagement in sustainable consumption. The authors employed a qualitative method approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with consumers engaged in sustainable consumption in Lithuania. The research results reveal that these consumers were affected by cognitive, attitudinal and psychosocial factors. In terms of external factors, consumers named contextual factors for sustainable consumption, social norms and the promotion of sustainable consumption. Research results also show an additional internal factor of perceived responsibility, which means perceived duty as an individual to do good for society and the environment.

“…What external measures are needed to change consumer behaviour patterns? [8,9] The behaviour of various population groups in relation to the climate change has not been classified yet; however, it can be compared with a classification of ecological behaviour. Several research projects focus on the analysis of different types of ecological behaviour.…”

The aim of the study is to identify patterns of consumer’s behaviour related to climate change. Research method: sociological survey. The authors conducted sociological surveys among the architecture students of the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (NRU MGSU) concerning their attitude to the climate change and the sense of personal responsibility for the current events. The results converged with the results of the European Sociological Survey (2017-2018), and discrepancies were insignificant. Drawing on the findings the authors identified behaviour models with regard for the climate change. They concluded that consumer behaviour is influenced by numerous factors, including the system of traditional values, the attitude to nature, to its resources, the government policy in respect of the climate change, as well as the effort to promote pro-environmental behaviors. Author s expanded the scope of the research and analyzed the opinions of the architecture students about the regard for climate-related factors in architectural design. The conclusion is that the problem is not well clear to the students of the civil engineering university. Although 100% of the respondents acknowledged the need to take account of the climate-related factors in the course of urban design and construction, only 21.4% of respondents listed some elements of architecture capable of protecting the climate. The reasons for the unawareness include poor climate education, information unavailability and an overall lack of climatic culture.
