<i>‘With the increasing focus on sustainability globally and the subsequent interest in the circular economy this book comes at a time when companies are evermore cognisant of the opportunities presented by the circular economy. This book explores, amongst other things, the role of the individual behaviour in contributing to the circular economy and it provides critical insight into the antecedents driving these individual behaviours where the circular economy is concerned. The book is a must read for any scholar and practitioner who wants to gain insight into individual behaviours contributing to the circular economy and the antecedents driving such behaviours.’</i>

- Daniel J Petzer, Henley Business School, South Africa,

This book sheds light on the crucial role employees play in guiding organisations towards sustainable practices, examining how their contributions can mitigate the pressing global challenges of depleting resources and intensifying pollution. It showcases how employees are responding to these prescient issues by strategically integrating green initiatives into core operations and fully harnessing the transformative potential of the circular economy.



Grounded in cutting-edge research, this book details how Employee Green Behaviour (EGB) can be categorised by type, task-relatedness, and level of influence. Central discussions illustrate strategic organisational actions fostering green behaviour, the intricate synergy of green human resource management, and the revolutionary role of AI in amplifying EGB. Ultimately, the book provides practical advice for professionals, and forward-thinking suggestions for future academic research.



Key industry decision makers such as managers, consultants, and executives will benefit from the included approaches to sustainability integration detailed within this book. It is additionally useful for researchers and scholars focusing on environmental management, organisational studies, business ethics and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
