Employees' pro-environmental behavior is crucial for accomplishing organizations' green initiatives. There is a dearth of empirical research that explored the underlying mechanism of environmentally specific servant leadership (ESL) influencing employees' pro-environmental behavior (EPB). The theoretical lens of self-efficacy theory is employed to explore the influence of ESL in predicting EPB. Employees' green self-efficacy was introduced as the mediator through which ESL influences EPB.
Time-lagged data from 381 dyads of employee-supervisor from Pakistan's energy sector were collected during the months of June and July 2021 through systematic random sampling. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was employed to analyze data and assess hypothesized relationships.
The results show that all hypotheses are supported. Findings indicate that environmentally specific servant leadership has a significant direct impact on employees' pro-environmental behavior and employees' green self-efficacy partially mediates the positive influence of ESL on EPB.
The study's managerial and theoretical implications are presented along with future research directions.
员工的亲环境行为对于实现组织的绿色倡议至关重要。目前缺乏实证研究来探索环境特定型仆人式领导（ESL）影响员工亲环境行为（EPB）的潜在机制。本研究运用自我效能理论的理论视角来探究ESL对EPB的预测影响。引入员工绿色自我效能作为ESL影响EPB的中介变量。
2021年6月至7月期间，通过系统随机抽样收集了来自巴基斯坦能源部门的381对员工-主管的时间滞后数据。采用偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）技术分析数据并评估假设关系。
结果表明所有假设均得到支持。研究结果表明，环境特定型仆人式领导对员工的亲环境行为有显著的直接影响，并且员工绿色自我效能部分中介了ESL对EPB的积极影响。
本文呈现了该研究的管理和理论意义以及未来的研究方向。
