Development and Validation of an Organizational Green Behavior Scale

Organizations increasingly depend on employees to translate environmental commitments into everyday workplace practices. Existing sustainability and green behavior measures have provided important foundations, yet many instruments focus separately on organizational systems, individual ecological actions, or environmental citizenship behaviors. This study develops and validates the Organizational Green Behavior Scale as an employee reported measure of three connected environmental domains: green organizational culture, voluntary pro‑environmental behavior, and environmental helping behavior. Items were generated from a systematic literature review, evaluated through expert content validation, refined through a pilot study, and tested with a formal survey of 812 employees across industries and job positions in Taiwan. The results support a stable three‑factor structure with satisfactory model fit, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and internal consistency. The final 17‑item scale offers a theoretically bounded instrument for diagnosing how environmental values are embedded, enacted, and socially reinforced in organizations. The scale contributes to green organizational behavior research by positioning environmental culture, individual action, and interpersonal support as connected domains rather than as isolated constructs, while its practical value lies in supporting organizational diagnosis, employee development, and environmental management initiatives.
