Description

Environmental sustainability is one of the defining grand challenges of our time--complex, urgent, and deeply intertwined with how we work and organize. As climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion reshape economies and societies, organizations are under growing pressure to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining performance and employee wellbeing. This forward-looking volume demonstrates how industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology is uniquely positioned to meet that challenge. Bringing together leading scholars from around the world, Environmental Sustainability in the Workplace offers a comprehensive and cutting-edge exploration of environmental sustainability at work. It moves beyond viewing "green behavior" as a series of isolated acts and instead presents a dynamic, multilevel perspective that connects individual motivation, team processes, leadership, organizational systems, and broader societal forces. Readers will discover how psychological theories of motivation, identity, self-regulation, and social influence can explain and shape pro-environmental action in the workplace. The volume also highlights innovative research methods, from longitudinal and experimental designs to qualitative and arts-based approaches, equipping scholars and practitioners with rigorous tools to study and foster sustainable change. Practical chapters translate evidence into action, covering green human resource management, sustainable leadership, work design, digital transformation, circular economy initiatives, sustainable careers, entrepreneurship, and environmental justice. Ideal for researchers, students, consultants, and organizational leaders, this book provides both a roadmap and a call to action-showing how workplaces can become powerful engines of environmental responsibility, social equity, and long-term organizational success.
