亲环境的领导行为已被视为机构力量的结果,尽管轶事表明个人领导者的重要作用。很少有人知道这在环境政策实施中的作用,很少有实证研究探讨公共部门的亲环境领导行为。在这项研究中,我们实证检验了亲环境的领导行为的类型,并检查行政领导人从事亲环境行为的动机。然后,我们建立我们的研究结果在环境政策实施的相关性。我们实证证实了亲环境领导行为的结构有效性,要求领导者应该阐明政策愿景,改变追随者的看法,并采取象征性的行动。我们的研究结果表明,领导者的环境努力在很大程度上是由法律的合规性和工具性自身利益(例如增加经济机会)所推动的,参与广泛的可持续发展问题的规范价值也可能具有有限但潜在的长期影响。此外,证据还表明有利于环保领导行为的工作场所环境的重要性。这些发现可用于制定地方战略,强调政策执行能力建设,以诱导中国的环保领导行为。
Pro‐environmental leadership behaviours have been examined as the result of institutional forces, though anecdotes suggest the significant role of individual leaders. Little is known about this role in environmental policy implementation, and few empirical studies explore pro‐environmental leadership behaviours in the public sector. In this study, we empirically test a typology of pro‐environmental leadership behaviours and examine administrative leaders' motives for engaging in pro‐environmental behaviours. We then establish the relevance of our findings in environmental policy implementation. We empirically confirm the construct validity of pro‐environmental leadership behaviours that require leaders should articulate a policy vision, change followers' perception, and take symbolic actions. Our findings show that leaders' environmental efforts are largely prompted by legal compliance and motivated by instrumental self‐interest (e.g. increased economic opportunities), and normative values of engaging with broad sustainability issues may also have limited but potentially long‐lasting effects. Moreover, the evidence also suggests the importance of a workplace environment conducive to pro‐environmental leadership behaviours. These findings can be used to develop local strategies that stress policy implementation capacity building to induce pro‐environmental leadership behaviours in China.
