- Abstract
- Purpose--The purpose of this paper is to identify latent variables that explain green workplace attitudes, behaviours and practices. Design/methodology/approach--Following a resource base view, a HRM-driven green workforce may provide competitive advantage. Workforce assessment here may take place at the employee level using environment-focussed measures including ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO). To test this proposition, a usable sample, following deletion of multivariate outliers, comprised 371 employees across three industry sectors. Participants self-reported for 26 items concerning perceptions related to environmental consciousness, organisational roles, and knowledge. Findings/ Results--Exploratory factor analysis revealed a four factor structure explaining green workplace attitudes, behaviours and practices: environmental knowledge environmental workplace AMO global environmental attitudes, and organisation and the environment. Originality/value--The study provides a practical and parsimonious diagnostic tool to facilitate HRM-led development to engender sustainable environmental attitudes and practices within the workforce with implications for future research directions discussed. Keywords: Green employees work practices scale development sustainability corporate social responsibility (CSR).
