Employee Green Behaviour, Environmental Behaviour, Research ReviewAbstract
The current environmental problems are becoming more and more serious, and enterprises, as the main creators of environmental problems, pay more and more attention to environmental problems, and the green practices of enterprises need to rely on their employees to achieve them, so the attention to the green behavior of employees is increasing. Although research in this field has been gradually carried out both at home and abroad, there are still some deficiencies. This paper collates the conceptual connotations of employees' green behaviors by sorting out the relevant literature, analyzes the influencing factors of employees' green behaviors from the individual level and the situational level respectively, and finally puts forward deficiencies in employees' green behaviors research as well as the future outlook, to provide a reference to the research on employees' green behaviors in the future.
