Abstract: Amongst the many challenges faced by society, climate change is one of the critical issues. This article aims to review the literature on voluntary employee green behaviour (VEGB) to identify and evaluate the contextual dispersion, the methodological variations, and the theoretical rigorousness of VEGB studies. A review of 65 research papers on VEGB shows a continental divide and prominence of quantitative research methodology over qualitative methodology. Further, though the researchers have used multi-level conceptual frameworks, only a handful of studies have applied multi-level analysis. Notably, the multi-theory applications in VEGB studies are rare. The study findings imply the need for uncovering the VEGB knowledge in developing country contexts, using multi-level analysis, and employing a multi-theory perspective to generate further knowledge about VEGB, which will be beneficial in mitigating eco-system damages and promoting a responsible society.
