The Psychology of Green Organizations

Book excerpt: As the 21st century advances, the global challenges and consequences posed by climate change are becoming increasingly apparent. Although organisations are considered significant contributors to climate change, they also have the potential to affect it positively through their employees. As a result, understanding how employees' pro-environmental initiatives can positively affect climate change has increasingly become the focus of inquiry among researchers. In this book a number of researchers review leading research in different areas of organisational environmental sustainability.
