Introduction: 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.
Methodology: 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.
Results: 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.
Discussion: The study's managerial and theoretical implications are presented along with future research directions.

Pesticide use poses significant risks to human health and the environment. However, the public perception of pesticides is characterized by a number of factors, including risk perception. This study aimed to investigate the role of risk perception in two models: a) as a mediator between personal norms and pro-environmental attitudes of farm managers and b) as a mediator of trust in the purchase intention of consumers.

Organisations significantly contribute to climate change, making them essential targets for climate mitigation strategies. There is an opportunity to curb organisations' environmental impact by increasing the amount of pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) among employees. Many social and psychological factors impact an employee's likelihood of performing PEBs.

The socio ecological model states that individual behaviors at work are shaped by the interactions between individual employees and their work environments. This study used citizen science to gain insights into which elements of the built, social, and organizational environment in an office and surrounding neighborhoods in two Swedish cities were perceived as barriers to or facilitators of healthy and sustainable behaviors at work. Participants in the eight-week Sustainable Office Intervention pilot study (SOFIA) (n = 33) were cluster-randomized into an experimental arm (sustainable lifestyle) or a control intervention arm (healthy lifestyle).
