Leadership is the bedrock of real green culture, new research shows

New research shows that employees are far more likely to act in environmentally responsible ways when their leaders actively demonstrate green values in how they lead, not just what they say. The study, published in the Journal of Organizational Effectiveness: People and Performance, finds that leadership is the critical foundation of an authentic green workplace culture. Where leaders consistently prioritize environmental responsibility, employees respond with higher levels of voluntary green behavior, from reducing waste to conserving resources and supporting sustainability initiatives.
