ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE ON GREEN WORK BEHAVIOR

Increased global warming and climate change have long been a global problem of concern, and workplace organizations may have their own contributing elements. Thus, this study focuses on the concept of employee green behavior (EGB) that contributes to environmental sustainability by producing something sustainable and environmentally friendly, and at the same time can improve job performance. The objective of this study is to explain the concept of EGB, identify its components and describe it from Islamic perspective. The importance of EGB is also studied and its implications as an organization's ability to remain competitive while prioritizing environmental sustainability. Data were collected through reading highlights from previous research results related to EGB and the like. The results of previous research either according to Islamic or contemporary perspectives were also found to uphold and be optimistic about the idea of implementing EGB initiatives in the workplace as it has shown significant results in the development of individual employees in terms of psychological, emotional, and physical. The practice of EGB needs to be integrated with the guidelines set out in the teachings of Islam to produce a more holistic sustainability. This EGB practice has a positive impact not only on the organization, but on the community and the world as well. Organizations certainly need to have green policies in the workplace and be actively practiced not only for energy conservation or effective resource management approaches, but also as a commitment to universal sustainability.
