Abstract : Majority of the research on pro-environmental behaviours is concerned with household setting. Growing importance of pro-environmental behaviours has made it imperative to study the same in organisational settings. The purpose of the present article is to present a framework to explain pro-environmental behaviours at workplace. Authors reviewed employee-centric sustainability literature in the management discipline and pro-environmental behaviours related literature from psychology and social psychology. Based on the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory, corporate environmentalism framework and literature on norm theory, a conceptual framework for explaining pro-environmental behaviours at workplace was proposed. Authors argue that individual characteristics such as values and environmental belief, and organisational environmentalism will influence the employees’ pro-environmental behaviours through personal and social norm, respectively.
