Abstract
This study investigates the lesser-known organizational and psychologi cal mechanisms leading individuals in organizations to engage in employee green behavior. Results from a survey of 744 employees from different organizations based in Germany reveal that high levels of environmental self-identity weaken the influence of supervisory support on employee green behavior—when both supervi sory support and environmental self-identity are low, no relation between perceived organizational support toward the environment and employee green behavior is seen, and the highest impact on employee green behavior occurs for environmental self-identity. Theoretical and empirical implications of the findings are discussed.
