While a substantial number of studies have explored the various organizational green strategies, research gaps exist in understanding the overall green behavior outcomes in business management. In this research, the authors aim to undertake an extensive exploration of the green behavior outcomes, using a bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review.
The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines are used as a framework for the paper selection process. Biblioshiny, R Studio software (version 4.2.0) is performed to conduct bibliometric analysis.
The most impactful publications, academic journals and countries within the domain were identified. Two main themes and 10 subthemes that underpin green behavior outcomes were revealed. In addition, this article offers insights into potential avenues for future research in this area.
The results provide valuable insights of green behavior outcomes for the academic community, industry professionals and policymakers to make informed decisions, develop strategies, drive behavior change, promote environmental sustainability and ultimately contribute to a more environmentally friendly and sustainable world.
This research contributes distinct insights to the existing body of knowledge by providing a thorough exploration of past, current and future research avenues related to green behavior outcomes over the past two decades.
