Organizations recently attach growing importance to sustainable development and green human resource management (GHRM), raising research interest in predicting employee green behavior (EGB). However, the potential linkage between a sense of calling and EGB is neglected. This research fills the void by examining whether, how, and when calling predicts EGB. Drawing upon self-determination theory, we argue that by satisfying three basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness), a sense of calling enhances employees' prosocial motivation, which in turn promotes EGB. We further propose that calling predicts EGB more effectively for less conscientious employees. We conducted two field surveys to test the hypotheses. Both Study 1 (N = 280) and Study 2 (N = 295) confirm that calling positively affects EGB through partial mediation of prosocial motivation and that conscientiousness negatively moderates the relationship between calling and prosocial motivation as well as the indirect effect. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.

呼唤感是否有助于可持续性？呼吁对员工绿色行为的影响研究

组织最近越来越重视可持续发展和绿色人力资源管理 (GHRM)，提高了对预测员工绿色行为 (EGB) 的研究兴趣。然而，呼叫感和 EGB 之间的潜在联系被忽略了。这项研究通过检查呼叫是否、如何以及何时预测 EGB 来填补空白。借鉴自决理论，我们认为，通过满足三个基本的心理需求（即自主性、能力和相关性），呼唤感增强了员工的亲社会动机，进而促进了 EGB。我们进一步建议，对于不那么认真的员工，呼叫可以更有效地预测 EGB。我们进行了两次实地调查来检验假设。研究 1 ( N  = 280) 和研究 2 ( N = 295) 确认呼唤通过亲社会动机的部分中介对 EGB 产生积极影响，而尽责性对呼唤和亲社会动机之间的关系以及间接影响产生消极影响。讨论了理论贡献和实际意义。
