Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Employees' Pro-environmental Behavior: From the Dual In-role and Extra-role Perspective

Abstract

Abstract: For a long time， there has been a certain degree of disconnection between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employees' pro-environmental behavior (PEB). In view of this， the relevant content of goal hierarchy theory and social psychology are introduced from the micro perspective of CSR， and a theoretical framework is constructed based on “organizational intervention—goal consistency—pro-environmental behavior” in order to explore the mechanism between CSR and employees' PEB. The results show that CSR association and participation have significant positive effects on employees' in-role and extra-role PEB. The impact of CSR association on employees' extra-role PEB is greater than employees' in-role PEB， the impact of CSR participation on employees' in-role PEB is greater than employees' extra-role PEB， and self-concordance may play a full intermediary role between the independent variables and dependent variables.

Key words: corporate social responsibility (CSR); self-concordance; pro-environmental behavior (PEB)
