KnE Social Sciences / International Conference of Applied Psychology (ICAP-H) / Pages 423–438

Abstract

Environmental problems seem endless, constantly impacting earth. One of the causes is humans who are reluctant to manage waste. The purpose of this research was to see the influence of transformational leadership and aspects of work motivation on pro-environmental behavior in employees. This research is a quantitative research with 145 subjects who are employees of the Gema Surya Kencana Cooperative and fall in the age group of 18–50 years. The scale used is the Pro Environmental Behavior Scale (PEB Scale), Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ Scale), and Motivation at Work Scale (MAWS). Data analysis was done using multiple linear regression techniques. Results show that transformational leadership has a significant influence on pro-environmental behavior with a significance value of P = 0.000 < 0.05. The autonomous motivation aspect did significantly affect pro-environmental behavior with a significance of 0.025 > 0.05 and the external motivation aspect did have a significant effect on pro-environmental behavior with a significance value of 0.024 > 0.05.
