因環境問題日趨嚴重,關於環保行為的探討與研究在這幾十年開始蓬勃發展,但半個世紀的研究依然難以讓學者找出能使人進行環保行為的背後因素。而在這環保行為領域中,探討關於組織員工所做的環保行為因素目前更尚處在起步階段,本研究將分析可能影響員工做環保行為的內在與外在因素:內在因素運用新生態典範量表(New Ecological Paradigm, NEP)來了解員工的環境價值觀是否會影響其環保行為;外在因素討論工作環境中,環境環保規範是否會影響員工的環保行為。本研究運用線上問卷調查的方式,共收集到187筆有效問卷,結果發現員工的環境價值觀與環保行為有正相關:有較高的新生態典範之員工會有較高程度的環保行為。研究另外發現,在擁有較高環境環保規範的工作空間中,其員工的環保行為程度亦較高。因此本研究能顯示在工作環境中,員工的環境價值觀與工作場合中的環境環保規範皆會影響其員工之環保行為程度。
In this study, we examine how employee’s Environmental Values and Pro-Environment Norms at work are related to Pro-environment Behaviors. As firm’s action is one of the main sources of environmental problems, it is vital that we investigate how we can make them greener, both external and internal. Here we explore the internal aspect of what influences employees to perform pro-environment behaviors. An online survey was distributed randomly to employees in different companies and industries of Taiwan, and a number of 187 usable surveys were returned. Our results confirm the positive link between the relationships between employees’ Environmental Values to Pro-environment Behavior, and Pro-Environment Norms at work to Pro-environment Behavior. In the latter finding, it gives us a clue that if firms could build an environmental friendly atmosphere, it may influence one’s Pro-environment Behavior. The results may benefit managers and organizations that hope to increase their employee’s green behavior, and governments that wish to promote Pro-environment Behaviors within organizations.
