Supervisor support and pro-environmental behavior: the mediating role of LMX

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the mediating mechanisms of the relationship between supervisor support and pro-environmental behavior. To this end, the quality of the dyadic exchanges between supervisor and subordinates was used. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from two different samples. In order to test the present hypotheses hierarchical regression and bootstrapping analysis were conducted. Findings – In congruence with the hypotheses, the results showed that leader-member exchange (LMX) served as a mediator in the relationship between supervisor support and pro-environmental behavior. Research limitations/implications – Data were drawn using a cross-sectional design. As a result, it is precarious to assess causality among the constructs. Furthermore, both studies collected data from a single source, namely employees, and this may inflate the present relationships due to common method bias. Originality/value – To the best of author’s knowledge, no prior empirical study has examined the pivotal role of LMX in affecting employees’ pro-environmental behavior.
