What is Employee Green Behaviour

This chapter explores the role of employees' green behaviour in public sector organisations in Ghana. The enactment of the Renewable Energy Technologies Act by Ghana's legislative body in 2012 has drawn considerable attention to the essence of embarking on a sustainable energy policy agenda. Public sector employees have been tasked by the government to be prudent in conserving energy in all its organisations. A qualitative research approach was adopted. A semi-structured interview was employed to examine how employees' routine activities considered green behaviour in the performance of their tasks at the workplace. Purposeful sampling was adopted in choosing 16 employees within selected public sector organisations. The data analysis revealed two seminal themes, which resulted in three key conclusions. Organisational policies such as replacing old office equipment with new energy-saving equipment to conserve energy are essential. Second, annual training on employee green behaviour has a long-term impact on creating environmentally conscious employees.
