Antecedents of pro-environmental behaviours at work: The moderating influence of psychological contract breach

This study uses the tenets of social exchange theory to examine employee willingness to perform pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs) in a workplace setting. The first aim of the study was to examine the indirect effect of perceived organisational support on pro-environmental behaviours via job attitudes. The second objective was to clarify whether a psychological contract breach affects the relationships between perceived organisational support and job attitudes. Using a convenience sample (N = 449), we report that perceived organisational support has an indirect effect on PEBs through employee commitment to the organisation. Additionally, organisational support moderates the effect of a perceived breach on employee job satisfaction. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
