Fostering organisational citizenship behaviour for the environment: Employee discretionary green behaviour in a school-based setting

This thesis represents a single case study that sheds light on the importance of developing shared understandings of employee green behaviour within a large school-based setting. The findings reveal that Organisational Citizenship Behaviour towards the Environment (OCBE) is the dominant form of green behaviour in the organisation and that eco-initiatives are the most performed OCBE. To increase employee performance of discretionary green behaviours, the study found that more feedback is required regarding the impact of employee green behaviours, a shared understanding of what green behaviour at work means should be clearly articulated as well as improving the buy-in from managers regarding their own green behaviour
