This book sheds light on the crucial role employees play in guiding organisations towards sustainable practices, examining how their contributions can mitigate the pressing global challenges of depleting resources and intensifying pollution. It showcases how employees are responding to these prescient issues by strategically integrating green initiatives into core operations and fully harnessing the transformative potential of the circular economy. Grounded in cutting-edge research, this book details how Employee Green Behaviour (EGB) can be categorised by type, task-relatedness, and level of influence. Central discussions illustrate strategic organisational actions fostering green behaviour, the intricate synergy of green human resource management, and the revolutionary role of AI in amplifying EGB. Ultimately, the book provides practical advice for professionals, and forward-thinking suggestions for future academic research. Key industry decision makers such as managers, consultants, and executives will benefit from the included approaches to sustainability integration detailed within this book. It is additionally useful for researchers and scholars focusing on environmental management, organisational studies, business ethics and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Supporting employee entrepreneurship is among major challenges contemporary organizations face. Many facets of corporate entrepreneurship are investigated, and the body of knowledge in the field is growing rapidly; nevertheless, there are still knowledge and research gaps to be filled. Notably, while there are studies linking HRM with corporate entrepreneurship, studies on connections between CSR-oriented practices and corporate/employee entrepreneurship are to be developed. The main goal of this book is to explain relationships between corporate volunteering and employee entrepreneurship in organisations. The book combines two extremely vivid fields of research: entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility. Based on their own research, the authors present how participation in corporate volunteering, as one of the CSR practices in organisations, leads to strengthening employee entrepreneurial behaviour. The book offers a framework showing the role of CSR practices in shaping entrepreneurial and innovative employees’ behaviour. This book is aimed mainly at postgraduates, researchers and academics in the fields of entrepreneurship and corporate volunteering. As it touches vital fields of managerial education and management, it will also be of interest to master level students at universities or business schools as well as business practitioners.
