Although organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) literature has highlighted the critical role of leadership on the emergence of OCBE, there is still room for further research exploration of how and when leaders influence subordinates' OCBE. According to social identity theory, we propose a theoretical model that responsible leadership promotes subordinates' OCBE by examining subordinates' moral identity as a mediator and individualism as a boundary condition. Using a sample of 273 collected in China, results indicated that responsible leadership was positively related to subordinates' moral identity, which in turn was positively related to subordinates' OCBE. Subordinates' moral identity partially mediated the relationship between responsible leadership and their OCBE. In addition, both the relationship between responsible leadership and subordinates' moral identity and the indirect relationship between responsible leadership and subordinates' OCBE were stronger when individualism was lower. These findings provide novel insights into how responsible leadership influences OCBE and how such influence is shaped by subordinates' individualism.
尽管环境组织公民行为（OCBE）的相关文献强调了领导在OCBE出现过程中的关键作用，但对于领导者如何以及何时影响下属的OCBE，仍有进一步研究探索的空间。根据社会认同理论，我们提出了一个理论模型，即通过考察下属的道德认同作为中介变量以及个人主义作为边界条件，负责任的领导能够促进下属的OCBE。以在中国收集的273个样本为例，结果表明，负责任的领导与下属的道德认同呈正相关，而下属的道德认同又与下属的OCBE呈正相关。下属的道德认同部分中介了负责任的领导与其OCBE之间的关系。此外，当个人主义较低时，负责任的领导与下属道德认同之间的关系以及负责任的领导与下属OCBE之间的间接关系都更强。这些发现为负责任的领导如何影响OCBE以及这种影响如何受到下属个人主义的塑造提供了新的见解。
