Fostering organizational citizenship behavior for the environment in promoting employee green behavior at the workplace

Malaysians generate 37500 tons per day and involving RM 2.0 billion a year for solid waste management (SWCorp Malaysia, 2017). Thus, environmental sustainability issues are one of the significant topics that should be concerned by the organizations. Encouraging pro-environmental or green behavior at workplace can result in an employee responsibility to reduce environmental problems. Therefore, there is a need to emphasize on the study of employee behavior toward sustainability. Hence, the aim of this is to propose the new framework of employee green behavior (EGB) for the organization based on organizational citizenship behavior for environment (OCBE). Implications of this study are useful for the employer as a guideline to encourage pro-environmental behavior at the workplace
