Abstract

Does adopting eco-innovations lead to more satisfied employees? Eco-innovations have the potential to enhance (and sometimes decrease) the job satisfaction of employees for several reasons, such as their positive effects on performances and wages, contribution to the wellbeing of others, or increased alignment between employee and company values. We examine empirically the relationship between eco-innovations and job satisfaction in a large number of observations using a moderated mediation model. We posit that the effect of adopting eco-innovations is mediated by job recognition, while the effect of the latter is moderated by job insecurity. Our structural equation modeling findings based on a sample of 5,384 respondents show that (i) eco-innovations do not directly lead to increased job satisfaction, (ii) job recognition mediates positively the relationship between the adoption of eco-innovations and job satisfaction, and (iii) job insecurity moderates negatively the positive mediating effect between the adoption of eco-innovations and job satisfaction.
