Relationships between daily affect and pro‐environmental behavior at work: The moderating role of pro‐environmental attitude
通过日记法研究56名员工10个工作日的日常情绪、环保态度与任务型和主动型环保行为的关系，发现日常低激活积极情绪和环保态度正向预测任务型环保行为，而高激活积极情绪对主动型环保行为的预测受环保态度调节。
Summary Research in organizational psychology has increasingly focused on understanding the determinants of “green” employee behavior. The present study used a daily diary design to investigate relationships between employees' daily affect, pro‐environmental attitude, as well as daily task‐related pro‐environmental behavior (i.e., the extent to which employees complete required work tasks in environmentally friendly ways), and daily proactive pro‐environmental behavior (i.e., the extent to which employees show personal initiative when acting in environmentally friendly ways at work). Fifty‐six employees working in small businesses completed a baseline survey and two daily surveys over ten workdays. Daily unactivated positive affect and pro‐environmental attitude positively predicted daily task‐related pro‐environmental behavior. In addition, daily activated positive affect positively predicted daily proactive pro‐environmental behavior among employees with a less positive pro‐environmental attitude but not among employees with a more positive pro‐environmental attitude. These findings suggest that fostering pro‐environmental attitudes and, to some extent, positive affect among employees could help organizations to promote pro‐environmental behavior in the workplace.
