Paper short abstract:

MNEs face multiple changes (economic crises, climate change, technology innovation…)(Melián-Alzola et al., 2020). I would like to share how MNEs respond to some emerging development issues and what factors influence the organisational and employee response.

Paper long abstract:

MNEs face multiple changes (economic crises, climate change, technology innovation…)(Melián-Alzola et al., 2020). This study investigated the association between national culture, organisational culture and employee proactive pro-environmental behaviour (PEB). The study also investigated the mediating effect of organisational culture between national culture and proactive PEB in the background of climate change. Over 280 employees from 15 MNEs are the respondents in this study. The researchers used a cross-sectional approach and partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyse the data. Results found a significant relationship between national culture, organisational culture and proactive PEB. Findings of the study revealed that organisational culture significantly meditates the relations between national culture and proactive PEB. This study presents practical implications for HRM practitioners by emphasising the effects of culture on employee behaviour when building the Green HRM towards sustainable development. Theoretical contributions are made by constructing a new structural model supported by the system theory and the induction of national culture, organisational culture, and proactive PEB and measuring the factors simultaneously. The study further established the mediating role of organisational culture between national culture and proactive PEB.
