Abstract

Despite numerous evidence for the leader's role in facilitating employees' green behavior, few studies have delved into the intervening mechanisms of the trickle-down effect transmitting green behavior from leaders to their subordinates. Drawing on social learning theory, we explicate a trickle-down process for voluntary green behavior from leaders to subordinates through leaders' green role model influence and employees' green self-efficacy, with leader gender as a moderator. Analysis of 70 leaders and 190 employees revealed that leaders' green role model influence and employees' green self-efficacy sequentially mediated the relationship between voluntary green behavior of leaders and that of employees. Moreover, both the direct and indirect effects were moderated by leader gender: While the direct effect was stronger for male leaders, the sequential mediating effect was stronger for female leaders. Overall, our study confirms the utility of social learning theory in explaining the trickle-down effect of voluntary green behavior at work.

性别重要吗?组织中自愿绿色行为的涓滴效应
尽管有大量证据表明领导者在促进员工绿色行为方面的作用,但很少有研究深入探讨领导者向下属传递绿色行为的涓滴效应的干预机制。本研究运用社会学习理论,通过领导者的绿色榜样影响和员工的绿色自我效能感,揭示了领导者向下属自愿绿色行为的涓滴效应过程,并以领导者性别为调节因子。对70名领导者和190名员工的分析发现,领导者的绿色榜样影响和员工的绿色自我效能感依次中介了领导者和员工自愿绿色行为之间的关系。直接效应和间接效应均受领导性别的调节,男性领导的直接效应更强,而女性领导的序贯中介效应更强。总的来说,我们的研究证实了社会学习理论在解释工作中自愿绿色行为的涓滴效应方面的效用。
