Findings- Environmental leadership influenced pro-environmental behavior in middle level employees. Green rewards and green self-efficacy mediated the relationship. Green training moderated the mediated relationship of green rewards and green self-efficacy between EL and pro-environmental behavior.
Research limitations/implications- Longitudinal study can be conducted on how pro-environmental behavior changes in different time horizons. This work can be further extended in different context and increasing the sample size.
Practical implications- This work will encourage the organizations to build pro-environmental behavior at workplace by introducing environmental leadership style, along with green rewards and promoting self-efficacy with the central role of environmental training to facilitate environmental behavior.
