“…Other scholars found individual personal attitudes and beliefs to be significant in predicting green behavior (in term of their purchases) (Gan et al 2008;Fraj and Martinez 2007a;Chan, 2001). Other than environmental knowledge, attitudes and values of individuals have been found to be major factors that influence green competencies (Ramayah, Lee, and Mohamad, 2010;Zho et al, 2014). For example, Chinese consumers are rather insensitive to environmental issues (Tantawi et al 2009;Tan and Lau, 2010).…”

Recently Human Resources Management (HRM) functions such as recruitment, selection, training and performance evaluation are expected in considering environmental management (EM) issues. Environmental protective acts with adequate ecological knowledge and socioeconomic behavior and skills are referred to in this paper as green competencies. However, a systematic approach for developing and understanding key factors that enhance individuals' green competencies is lacking. This study contributes to green human resource literature by integrating environmental consumer behavior literature with traditional skills and competencies literature to help firms to select the right individuals to achieve their environmental goals. Using Robert's competencies framework and structural equation modeling (SEM), this paper empirically examines the influence of individual green competencies on organizations' green practices and performance objectives. Our model is tested using a sample of 1,230 employees working in key industries in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo. The results indicate that acquired green competencies are more positively associated with individuals' green competencies and green behavior. The study empirically demonstrates that verifying acquired green competence attributes such as environmental knowledge, green purchase attitude and intention during employee selection would certainly be helpful for firms to identify individual green performance potential.

“…Environmental attitude is defined as a set of beliefs, desires as well as emotions and behavioral intentions related to environment (Abbasi et al, 2013) which might turn into an intention to do something (Ramayah et al, 2010). Environment-friendly attitude is defined as an attitude in which environmental consequences are considered.…”

“…The environmental attitude is assessed in terms of the consequences perceived by customers. The environmental consequences can be measured and assessed based on concerns about the impact of a product on the environment, destruction of forests, and the rate of use of energy in production of a product (Ramayah et al, 2010). The level of environmental concern of a person is associated with his attitude and behavior (Newton et al, 2015).…”

“…The growing interest among consumers in regard to the issue of sustainability has resulted in studies that have looked at households in relation to green product purchases ranging from organic foods (Mohd et al, 2010;Smith & Paladino, 2010;Arvola et al, 2008), hybrid cars (Oliver & Lee, 2010), green hotels (Han et al, 2010), eco-friendly wine (Barber et al, 2010), cloth diapers (Ramayah et al, 2010) to sustainably produced food (Robinson & Smith, 2002). However, there has been little research carried out to examine households' intentions for purchasing eco-friendly homes.…”

This paper attempts to measure the intention of homebuyers to purchase green and sustainable homes using an extended theory of planned behavior model (TPB) in Malaysia. The results obtained indicate that attitude towards green housing, perceived behavior control, and perceived self-identity have positive causal effects on behavioral intentions to purchase such homes. However, social referents' opinion relating to sustainable homes is not significantly related to intent to purchase. The findings also indicate that interdependencies among psychosocial variables are important extensions of TPB to predict behavioral intentions to purchase green and sustainable homes.
