Green intellectual capital and employee environmental citizenship behavior: the mediating role of organizational agility and green creativity
Résumé
Purpose-This study utilizes social exchange theory (SET) to investigate the relationship between green intellectual capital (GIC) and employee environmental citizenship behavior (ECB) through the serial mediation of organizational agility (OA) and employee green creativity (EGC).
Design/methodology/approach-The study uses a multi-level and multi-wave dataset of 425 employees and 70 managers nested within 35 manufacturing firms. The authors followed a 2-2-1-1 research framework in which organizational GIC (a level 2 variable) influenced EGC (a level 1 outcome variable), which was then mediated by organizational agility (a level 2 variable) and employee EGC (a level 1 variable). The study used Jamovi for hypothesis testing.
The findings suggest a positive relationship between GIC and OA, leading positively to EGC and employee ECB. It indicates that GIC positively relates to employee ECB via serial mediation effects through OA, and EGC.
Practical implications-Organizations are suggested to emphasize GIC to promote employee ECB. Organizations can leverage OA, involving the application of Lean-thinking principles by employees throughout the organization to enhance business processes. Furthermore, organizations should evolve strategies with clear and decisive new commitments, enabling them to swiftly adapt to capitalize on emerging opportunities enhancing ECB. This approach enhances EGC, thereby fostering environmental stewardship.
Originality/Value-The study enhances understanding between GIC and employee ECB through the mechanism of OA and EGC by developing and testing a multi-level process model using SET.
