Abstract

The humans are performing economic activities for their self-development by over-utilising the scarce and limited resources of nature. Moreover, the activities of humans damage the natural resources by polluting it. Engaged employees has the ability to make big differences if the organizations are able to provide positive psychological climate, resources for the job, management support as well as good working conditions. The present study took an initial step in using an empirically validated relationship model (with some modifications) to find relationship between employee willingness to promote eco-initiatives and dimensions of support for work environment. The proposed model has added some new dimensions to the conceptual categories of model, namely; organizational factors and biographical characteristics based on review of related literature which can prove to be useful in understanding the dimensions to engage the employees of the organizations in environmental protection and improvement.
