Abstract

Personality traits play a crucial role in fostering sustainable behavior, especially within organizational contexts. This research investigates the interplay between leadership personality, employee personality, decision-making processes, and environmentally responsible actions. Utilizing a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The results indicate that leadership personality significantly influences environmentally responsible behavior, while employee personality positively affects both decision-making and pro-environmental actions. However, leadership personality was not found to have a direct impact on decision-making, nor did decision-making mediate its connection to environmentally responsible behavior. This study enhances understanding of how leadership and employee personality traits contribute to sustainable practices in governmental settings. It underscores the importance for organizations to cultivate personality traits that encourage eco-friendly behavior, providing valuable insights to strengthen sustainability initiatives.

通过领导力和员工个性特征促进可持续发展

人格特质在促进可持续行为方面发挥着至关重要的作用，尤其是在组织环境中。本研究探讨了领导个性、员工个性、决策过程和对环境负责的行为之间的相互作用。研究采用横截面设计的定量方法，通过结构化问卷收集数据，并使用确证因子分析和结构方程模型进行分析。结果表明，领导个性对环境责任行为有显著影响，而员工个性则对决策和环保行动有积极影响。然而，研究并未发现领导个性对决策有直接影响，也未发现决策对环境责任行为有中介作用。这项研究加深了人们对领导力和员工个性特征如何促进政府机构可持续发展实践的理解。它强调了组织培养鼓励环保行为的个性特征的重要性，为加强可持续发展举措提供了宝贵的见解。
