Abstract
Employee involvement in environment-oriented innovation is increasingly recognized as a key driver of organizational sustainability. This study explores the influence of organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment as a mediator in the relationship between psychological empowerment and green innovative work behavior, while considering perceived green organizational support as a moderator variable. This study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing data collected through a survey conducted in June 2025 among 222 employees of plantation companies in Indonesia using purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling, supplemented with simple slope analysis to test for interaction effects. The results indicate that psychological empowerment has a positive and significant influence on green innovative work behavior (β = 0.253, p < 0.001) and on organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment (β = 0.569, p < 0.001). Organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment also significantly influences green innovative work behavior (β = 0.312, p = 0.004) and was found to mediate the relationship between psychological empowerment and green innovative work behavior (β = 0.178, p = 0.009). Furthermore, perceived green organizational support was found to moderate the influence between organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment and green innovative work behavior (β = 0.096, p = 0.018), such that the effect of organizational citizenship behavior on green innovation becomes stronger when perceptions of organizational support for the environment are high. By integrating individual psychological factors, voluntary environmental behaviors, and organizational support into a single framework, the study expands the understanding of sustainable, green innovative behaviors.
