This is because public servants are the largest workforce in Malaysia. Moreover, studies on pro-environmental behavior among the Malaysian public servant is still limited, fragmented, and focusing on direct effect. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the determinants that influence workplace pro-environmental behavior (WPEB) among Malaysian public servants using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and confirmed by a preliminary study. It also examines the relationship between organisational determinants [environmental transformational leadership (ETL), organisational support toward the environment (POSE), and co-worker influence (CA)] and individual determinants [environmental harmonious passion (EHP), and environmental concern (EC)] on workplace pro-environmental behavior (WPEB) among Malaysian public servants. This study also investigates the mediating effects of two individual determinants (EHP and EC). The framework of this study is supported by Stimuli-Organism-Response (SOR) Theory. A total of 1000 survey questionnaires were distributed via email to respondents consisting of public servants from 14 ministries and government departments located at the Government Administrative Centre, Putrajaya using stratified sampling technique. The response rate was 62%. Measurement model assessment using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) showed satisfactory measurement in terms of internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Hypotheses testing indicated all organisational determinants (ETL, POSE, and CA) significantly influence WPEB. Nevertheless, among these three variables, co-worker influence (CA) had the strongest relationship with workplace pro-environmental behavior (WPEB). For individual determinants, only EHP significantly influences WPEB. However, EC does not significantly influence WPEB. Mediation analysis showed that EHP significantly mediates the relationship between the three organisational determinants (ETL, POSE, and CA) and WPEB. Conversely, environmental concern (EC) did not mediate the relationship between organisational determinants (ETL, POSE, and CA) and WPEB. 58.2% variance in WPEB is explained by EHP, while 56.1% variance in WPEB is explained by EC. More importantly, this study provides insight to assist policymakers in formulating strategies and effective policies to foster pro-environmental behavior among public servants and, as a result, achieve Malaysia’s Green Growth goal 2022-10 Thesis http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/11021/ http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/11021/1/24p%20NOR%20KAMARIAH%20KAMARUDDIN.pdf text en public http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/11021/2/NOR%20KAMARIAH%20KAMARUDDIN%20COPYRIGHT%20DECLARATION.pdf text en staffonly http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/11021/3/NOR%20KAMARIAH%20KAMARUDDIN%20WATERMARK.pdf text en validuser phd doctoral Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Fakulti Pengurusan Teknologi dan Perniagaan
