Abstract

The worsening of the environmental conditions caused by logistics operations, such as the increasing carbon dioxide emissions and overutilization of paper documentation, has given Employee Green Behavior (EGB) a certain level of importance as the solution. Logistics employees also need more engagement in green practices, such as inefficient route planning, excessive paper use, and unsustainable behaviors. In solving the growing sustainability issues, previous studies have focused on developing both Social Learning Theory (SLT) and Social Identity Theory (SIT) in developing EGB in other industry areas. Thus, they cannot address the pollution issues critically within the logistics area. SLT and SIT have been proposed in this study to examine how Green Organizational Knowledge (GOC), Ethical Leadership (EL), and Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), can be utilized to enhance EGB in the logistics operation of Malaysia. In this study, it meant to examine the factors influencing EGB in logistics operations. This study will use the quantitative method, non-probability, with judgmental sampling techniques. Data was collected physically and virtually, targeting respondents in the Klang Valley area. Multiple tests, such as descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, inferential analysis, linear multiple regression analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, outlier test, and mediator analysis, were conducted on the 136 responses collected. Subject to prior studies on EGB, the findings of this research show that there is positive significant relationship between the management of GOC, EL, and GHRM with EBG in logistics operations. The results obtained benefit logistics companies in enhancing sustainable logistics operations by providing route planning training programme, showing the ethical leadership of paper reduction, and fostering a culture of sustainability in logistics operation to enhance EGB. Keywords: Green Organizational Culture, Ethical Leadership, Green Human Resource Management, Employee Green Behavior in Logistics Operation
