“…According to Schwartz (1977), a personal norm reflects self-expectations towards acting in a certain way in a certain situation, such that, if these self-expectations become activated, they are experienced in the form of feelings of moral obligation. They can be distinguished from social norms in that their regulatory impact on behaviour does not come through the anticipation of external sanctions (Thøgersen, 2006), and there is empirical evidence in support of this view (Han et al, 2015;Onwezen, Antonides, & Bartels, 2013). This evidence generally supports Schwartz's (1977) notion "that the sanctions attached to personal norms are tied to the self-concept.…”

“…Past research has shown that social norms are an important antecedent of proenvironmental intentions (for a recent meta-analysis, see Klöckner, 2013). 5 For example, the more people think that significant others consider household recycling to be something that ought to be done, the more likely they are to intend to engage in such behaviour (K. M. White, Smith, Terry, Greenslade, & McKimmie, 2009), and the more people think that significant others expect them to stay in eco-friendly hotels, the more likely they are to plan such trips in the future (Han, Hwang, Kim, & Jung, 2015). Exposure to messages conveying injunctive social norms has also been shown to motivate people to make less frequent use of free plastic bags offered whilst shopping (De Groot, Abrahamse, & Jones, 2013), to attach anti-ad stickers to their mailboxes (Hamann, Reese, Seewald, & Loeschinger, 2015), to show positive attitudes towards forms of political activism (Smith & Louis, 2008), and to be more supportive of environmental policies (De Groot & Schuitema, 2012).…”

“…The interaction of environmental knowledge with green HRM practices is likely to strengthen this relationship and increase employees' participation in environmentally friendly behaviors (Afsar et al, 2016). Indeed, based on the NAM, some researchers agree that treating environmental knowledge as a moderator rather than the direct effect plays a better role in the activation process of behaving prosocially (Afsar et al, 2016;Han, Hwang, Kim, & Jung, 2015). Indeed, based on the NAM, some researchers agree that treating environmental knowledge as a moderator rather than the direct effect plays a better role in the activation process of behaving prosocially (Afsar et al, 2016;Han, Hwang, Kim, & Jung, 2015).…”

“…The socialpsychological model of Stern, Dietz, and Kalof (1993), which was originally based on Schwartz's (1977) norm activation model (NAM), also assumes that for individuals to exhibit altruistic behavior, it is essential that they have awareness about the results of performing or not performing a behavior in terms of social harm. Indeed, based on the NAM, some researchers agree that treating environmental knowledge as a moderator rather than the direct effect plays a better role in the activation process of behaving prosocially (Afsar et al, 2016;Han, Hwang, Kim, & Jung, 2015). When employees are aware of environmental problems, they are more likely to exhibit proenvironmental behaviors.…”

Success of organizational initiatives for environmental sustainability hinges upon employees' proenvironmental behaviors. One of the contemporary important challenges faced by HR professionals is to ensure proper integration of environmental sustainability into human resource policies. The green human resource management (green HRM) has emerged from organizations engaging in practices related to protection of environment and maintaining ecological balance. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of green HRM practices (green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management and appraisal, green reward and compensation, and green empowerment) on employee's proenvironmental behavior. Moreover, this study is going to test the mediating effect of proenvironmental psychological capital and the moderating effect of environmental knowledge on green HRM practices-proenvironmental behavior. Data from 347 employees working in coal generating, power industry, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries were collected. Results revealed that green HRM practices positively affected employee's proenvironmental behavior, and proenvironmental psychological capital mediated this link. Employee's environmental knowledge moderated the effect of green HRM practices on proenvironmental behavior.

“…The norm activation model theorizes that one's altruistically pro-social/environmental intention or behavior is activated according to one's own personal norm, which is in turn influenced by awareness of consequence and ascribed responsibility (Han 2015;Han et al 2015). The value-belief-norm model, which is derived from the norm activation model while integrating value theory (Stern et al 1999), theorizes that there are three types of values, e.g., egoistic value, altruistic value, and biospheric value, concerning pro-social/environmental behavior or intention (Snelgar 2006).…”

Conceptualizing Heritage Responsibility in World Heritage Sites: Insights from Levinas’ Ethics of Responsibility

Abstract:The concept of responsibility has always been closely tied to notions of powers and rights. However, current responsibility models such as ' corporate social responsibility' , ' responsible tourism' , and ' destination social responsibility' are limited in their explanations of stakeholders' powers and rights in the heritage tourism context. The current conceptualization of heritage responsibility poses a number of challenges, such as complicated subjects, ambivalent direction, and vague logic. Moreover, engaging with problems such as the asymmetric relationship between responsibility and rights, and the vague relationship between subject and object of responsibility, has been hampered by a lack of sufficient philosophical grounding. The paper addresses this gap by reanalyzing responsibility in the heritage tourism context using Levinas' ethics of responsibility. This study argues the following: a) Heritage responsibility is an ethical responsibility that agents undertake in the process of identifying, interpreting and representing heritage. This type of responsibility points not only to the subject-object ( heritage) level, but also the intersubjective level, and consists of not only responsibility-for-the-self, but also responsibility-for-the-other. b) Heritage responsibility, from the perspective of Levinas' ethics of responsibility, features passivity, infinity, asymmetry, and preoriginariness, which accounts for the unequal distribution of rights and responsibilities in heritage conservation. c) Given these features of heritage responsibility, the discursive power of stakeholders must be recognized in order to ensure that agents with authority assume their share of responsibility. This paper further discusses the relationship between heritage responsibility and self-identity, cultural identity, and discursive power relations, and outlines issues for future research.Keywords: Heritage responsibility; responsibility-for-the-other; heritage tourism 79 Abstract: The concept of responsibility has always been closely tied to notions of powers and rights.
