By simply modifying management decisions towards an environmentally friendly approach, organisations can minimise their negative operational impacts on the environment. A key question is whether a manager’s pro-environmental decision-making behaviour can be determined by their personal characteristics. Our study hypothesised that three core attributes (personal values, attitudes, and subjective norms) of a person can predict their future pro-environmental behavioural intention — the closest proxy of actual pro-environmental behaviour. Using the theoretical lenses of Value-Attitude-Behaviour theory (VAB) and Value-Belief-Norm theory (VBN), we examined the roles of three core attributes of future business leaders (MBA students) on their intention to behave pro-environmentally. The results of structural equation modelling indicate that future managers’ environmental values, attitudes, and subjective norms are positively associated with their intentions related to pro-environmental behaviour. Mediation test of the structural model further indicates that environmental attitudes mediate the link between personal values and intention; however, subjective norms does not. Our results imply that effective recruitment and selection mechanisms may incorporate these attributes to assist organisations in the identification of environmentally responsible business leaders. By hiring environmentally responsible managers, organisations will be able to better fulfil their commitment towards sustainability outcomes.

亲环境管理者的核心属性与环境管理的动态

通过简单地将管理决策修改为对环境友好的方法,组织可以最大限度地减少对环境的负面运营影响。一个关键问题是管理者的亲环境决策行为是否可以由他们的个人特征决定。我们的研究假设一个人的三个核心属性(个人价值观、态度和主观规范)可以预测他们未来的环保行为意图——最接近实际环保行为的代表。使用价值-态度-行为理论 (VAB) 和价值-信念-规范理论 (VBN) 的理论镜头,我们研究了未来商业领袖(MBA 学生)的三个核心属性在他们的环保行为意图中的作用。结构方程模型的结果表明,未来管理者的环境价值观、态度和主观规范与其亲环境行为的意图正相关。结构模型的中介检验进一步表明,环境态度在个人价值观和意图之间的联系中起中介作用;然而,主观规范却没有。我们的结果表明,有效的招聘和选拔机制可以结合这些属性,以帮助组织识别对环境负责的商业领袖。通过聘请对环境负责的经理,组织将能够更好地履行其对可持续发展成果的承诺。主观规范与他们与亲环境行为相关的意图呈正相关。结构模型的中介检验进一步表明,环境态度在个人价值观和意图之间的联系中起中介作用;然而,主观规范却没有。我们的结果表明,有效的招聘和选拔机制可以结合这些属性,以帮助组织识别对环境负责的商业领袖。通过聘请对环境负责的经理,组织将能够更好地履行其对可持续发展成果的承诺。主观规范与他们与亲环境行为相关的意图呈正相关。结构模型的中介检验进一步表明,环境态度在个人价值观和意图之间的联系中起中介作用;然而,主观规范却没有。我们的结果表明,有效的招聘和选拔机制可以结合这些属性,以帮助组织识别对环境负责的商业领袖。通过聘请对环境负责的经理,组织将能够更好地履行其对可持续发展成果的承诺。我们的结果表明,有效的招聘和选拔机制可以结合这些属性,以帮助组织识别对环境负责的商业领袖。通过聘请对环境负责的经理,组织将能够更好地履行其对可持续发展成果的承诺。我们的结果表明,有效的招聘和选拔机制可以结合这些属性,以帮助组织识别对环境负责的商业领袖。通过聘请对环境负责的经理,组织将能够更好地履行其对可持续发展成果的承诺。
