Abstract

Implementing environmental regulations in Pakistan remains an ideological thought with little or no enforcement. In this context, an organization’s sincerity towards corporate social responsibility initiatives is proven when it operates responsibly without regulatory pressures. Aimed at advancing the discourse on social identity and self-determination theories, this paper examines the influencing mechanism of multilevel responsible leadership on employees’ voluntary green behavior from a vertical perspective through leader identification and autonomous motivation for the environment. The sample included 357 employees working in 97 teams from pharmaceutical, cement manufacturing, and textile sector companies. Multi-source data were collected in two phases and analyzed with multilevel structural equation modeling through MPlus 8.3 software. The results support the hypothesized direct and mediating mechanisms of responsible leadership in shaping employees’ voluntary green behavior. Theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and future research suggestions are discussed.

负责任领导与领导者认同和培养自愿绿色行为的自主动机的多层次相互作用

在巴基斯坦实施环境法规仍然是一种意识形态思想，很少或根本没有执行。在这种背景下，当一个组织在没有监管压力的情况下负责任地运作时，就证明了它对企业社会责任倡议的诚意。本文旨在推进社会认同和自我决定理论的论述，从领导者认同和环境自主动机两个维度，纵向考察了多层次责任领导对员工自愿绿色行为的影响机制。样本包括来自制药、水泥制造和纺织行业公司的97个团队的357名员工。分两阶段采集多源数据，通过MPlus 8.3软件进行多层次结构方程建模分析。研究结果支持了责任领导在塑造员工自愿绿色行为中的直接和中介机制的假设。讨论了理论和管理意义、局限性和未来的研究建议。

期刊介绍： The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
