Abstract

The study was conducted to analyze the mediating role of green working environment awareness and job satisfaction on the relationship of green training and voluntary green behavior of employees in Can Tho city based on survey data from 120 employees. The results of PLS-SEM show that green training has a positive effect on the awareness of the green working environment and job satisfaction of employees. Besides, the statistical evidence also shows that green training and awareness of green working environment have an effect on voluntary green behavior of employees. In addition, the awareness of green working environment is documented as a mediator for the relationship between green training and voluntary green behavior. Based on these results, some managerial implications are proposed to promote green behavior of employees in the workplace. Specifically, the enterprise should organize training programs related to the environmental activities for employees. In addition, the enterprise should invest more in green training, should publish a common workplace policy and encourage green behavior as well as should organize programs to maintain the awareness of green working environment of employees.
