Abstract

Nowadays, it is very necessary to pay attention and importance to the green policy making in government organizations to protect the environment. The present study aims to investigate the impact of behavioral control and perceived organizational support on environmental behaviors of employees with the moderating role of psychological contract Breach. This study was applied in a descriptive and surveyed manner. The sample of this study was 212 employees of Shiraz municipality who were selected by available sampling method. Partial least squares method and Smart PLS2 software were used for data analysis. Convergent validity was used to assess the validity and Cronbach's alpha was used to fit the reliability and its coefficient was greater than 0.7 for all research constructs. Findings show that behavioral control and perceived organizational support have a positive and significant effect on proenvironmental behaviors of employees. However, psychological contract Breach moderates the impact of behavioral control on environmental behaviors, but does not moderate the impact of perceived organizational support on environmental behaviors.
