Abstract

In recent years the occurrence of natural disasters such as flooding due to global climate change is an issue of huge concern to the extent that environmental sustainability has become an important subject of discourse in society and organisations. Such that flooding caused by global climate change is not only an environmental issue, but, rather it is a problem that is inextricably associated with almost everything we do as a society The excessive presence of toxic in the environment because of human and organisational influences are hugely the reasons for the current situation of the environment today. The primary objective of this study was to explore the association between environmentally specific transformational leadership, green human resource management, and employee green behaviour. In addition, the moderating role of environmental awareness was also examined in the association of all other variables. More so, in this study SmartPLS 2.0 program was applied for path and moderation effect analysis of surveys collected among 382 employees working across selected organisations in the North-Central and North-West geo-political zones of Nigeria. Results showed that both environmentally specific transformational leadership and green human resource management were significantly and positively associated with EGB. Furthermore, results revealed that environmental awareness moderated the association between environmentally specific transformational leadership and employee green behaviour, as well as between green human resource management and employee green behaviour. Implications and suggestions for future research were discussed.

AB  - In recent years the occurrence of natural disasters such as flooding due to global climate change is an issue of huge concern to the extent that environmental sustainability has become an important subject of discourse in society and organisations. Such that flooding caused by global climate change is not only an environmental issue, but, rather it is a problem that is inextricably associated with almost everything we do as a society The excessive presence of toxic in the environment because of human and organisational influences are hugely the reasons for the current situation of the environment today. The primary objective of this study was to explore the association between environmentally specific transformational leadership, green human resource management, and employee green behaviour. In addition, the moderating role of environmental awareness was also examined in the association of all other variables. More so, in this study SmartPLS 2.0 program was applied for path and moderation effect analysis of surveys collected among 382 employees working across selected organisations in the North-Central and North-West geo-political zones of Nigeria. Results showed that both environmentally specific transformational leadership and green human resource management were significantly and positively associated with EGB. Furthermore, results revealed that environmental awareness moderated the association between environmentally specific transformational leadership and employee green behaviour, as well as between green human resource management and employee green behaviour. Implications and suggestions for future research were discussed.
