This study aims to introduce the concept of the “non-green triple threat” to examine the antecedents and outcomes of employees’ non-green behavioral intentions using the theory of planned behavior.
A multi-group analysis of structural equation modeling based on partial least squares was applied to data from manufacturing employees in Iran, Italy and India.
Non-green attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control significantly predicted non-green behavioral intention. This intention, in turn, positively influenced non-green behavior, knowledge sharing and work engagement. Furthermore, national culture moderated certain relationships.
By incorporating non-green employee behaviors, this research provides a broader view of how environmental attitudes, norms and control perceptions shape harmful environmental outcomes.
