Concern for the environment and the diminishing availability of resources is undoubtedly a relevant issue, both personally and organizationally. That is why knowing the factors that affect the occurrence of green behavior is relevant, particularly in SMEs, due to their importance in the economy of all countries, and specifically by the women who work in them, since their participation is gaining more and more preponderance in the Mexican labor force. It is because of the above that the objective of the research was to analyze the effect of environmental knowledge and perceived behavioral control on the employee green behavior of female employees of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ensenada, Baja California. The study is characterized by having a quantitative approach, a non-experimental, exploratory design and a transverse temporal dimension. 240 questionnaires were applied to female employees of SMEs in Ensenada, Baja California. The data collected was analyzed using structural equation modeling based on the partial least squares technique. The results empirically reflect the following: environmental knowledge has a positive and statistically significant effect on perceived behavioral control and employee green behavior. Also, it was found that the perceived behavioral control variable had a positive and statistically significant effect on the employee green behavior of female employees of SMEs in Ensenada, Baja California. Lastly, it was found that environmental knowledge predicts perceived behavioral control which in turn predicts employee green behavior. In this sense, such findings allow us to consider environmental knowledge and perceived behavioral control as predictive variables of employee green behavior.
对环境的关注以及资源可用性的减少无疑是一个个人和组织层面都相关的问题。这就是为什么了解影响绿色行为发生的因素是有意义的，特别是在中小企业中，因为它们在所有国家的经济中都很重要，而具体来说是对在其中工作的女性而言，因为她们的参与在墨西哥劳动力中越来越占主导地位。正是由于上述原因，本研究的目的是分析环境知识和感知行为控制对下加利福尼亚州恩塞纳达市中小企业女性员工绿色行为的影响。该研究的特点是采用定量方法、非实验性探索性设计和横向时间维度。对下加利福尼亚州恩塞纳达市中小企业的女性员工发放了240份问卷。使用基于偏最小二乘法的结构方程模型对收集到的数据进行分析。结果实证反映了以下内容：环境知识对感知行为控制和员工绿色行为有积极且在统计上显著的影响。此外，还发现感知行为控制变量对下加利福尼亚州恩塞纳达市中小企业女性员工的绿色行为有积极且在统计上显著的影响。最后，发现环境知识预测感知行为控制，而感知行为控制又预测员工绿色行为。从这个意义上说，这些发现使我们能够将环境知识和感知行为控制视为员工绿色行为的预测变量。
