Abstract

Preserving the environment to achieve organizational sustainability only can be done through changing the behaviour of employee to pro-environmental behaviour that the problems of environmental degradation can be addressed. However, the solution to fostering employee pro-environmental behaviour (EPEB) remain unsolved because most of the previous research have been contemplated in both private sphere and general society, but rarely in work setting. Even though many theories has been used by several researchers in examining pro-environmental behaviour in workplace, the appropriate antecedents that able to lead towards workplace practicing environmental behaviour still lacking. Parallel to this, Islam play an important role in preserving the environment as what has stated in Islamic thought, but the majority of studies which express the relationship between individual and organizational variables still focus on Western context, which ignored the important role of Islamic work ethics (IWE). Therefore, this study would integrate the role of IWE in fostering EPEB. This study also examined the relationship between IWE and EPEB based on systematic review of previous literature in the context of IWE and EPEB.
