Abstract

This study explores the impact of green human resource management (HRM) practices on employees' pro-environmental behaviors beyond the workplace. To explore this cross-domain resource transfer process, we draw on self-determination theory and propose that workplace environmental training can inspire employees to engage in green leisure crafting outside of work, thereby enhancing spontaneous personal green behaviors. In addition, building on person–environment fit theory, we further identify employees' environmental values as a positive contingency of the proposed cross-domain resource transfer. Our empirical analysis, based on two-wave data from 404 employees, reveals that green leisure crafting mediates the relationship between workplace environmental training and employees' green behaviors in their personal lives. These findings offer valuable insights into how modern organizations can meet the growing demand for environmental management and create social value by empowering their employees to contribute to environmental sustainability beyond organizational boundaries.
