Linking perceived corporate environmental policies and employees eco-initiatives: The influence of perceived organizational support and psychological contract breach

摘要

In this study we examine the linkages between perceived corporate environmental policies, organizational support, perceived psychological breach, and employees' eco-initiatives. We test (1) the indirect effect of organizational support on the relationship between perceived corporate environmental policies and eco-initiatives, and (2) the moderating effect of perceived psychological breach on the relationship between organizational support and eco-initiatives. Using a convenience sample (N = 651), our study supports our hypotheses. More precisely, there was little effect of perceived PC-breach on eco-initiatives among employees who perceived high support from their organization. However, among those who perceived low organizational support, there was a negative effect of breach on their willingness to perform eco-initiatives. In comparison with employees who feel supported by their employer, employees who are not convinced by the supportive actions of their organization are less likely to perform eco-initiatives on the job if they consider a breach to have occurred. Practical implications are discussed and suggestions for future research are proposed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
