Too tired to be eco-responsible... unless you get a helping hand!
Organizations are known to play a role in the degradation of ecosystems, but they can also be part of the solution. A quantitative study was conducted with 313 employees working in different sectors in Canada. According to Hobfoll & Shirom’s (2001) conservation of ressource theory, the purpose of the study is to understand how stressors, social and personnal resources influence eco-responsible behaviors. The results show that the supervisory support for environmental (social resource) has more influence on eco-friendly behaviors of their subordinates when they feel high citizenship fatigue compared to low citizenship fatigue (personal resource). Also, when subordinates experience workload (stressor), the effect of supervisor support deteriorates and has less impact on eco-friendly behaviors.
