Abstract: Increasing global awareness of environmental sustainability has prompted organisations to devise mechanisms to encourage employees to adopt environmentally friendly behaviours. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of transformational leadership, perceived sustainability policy, and green vision on employees' pro-environmental behaviours in the workplace. The existing body of research on workplace pro-environmental behaviours remains fragmented, with these factors examined independently. Data were collected from 215 employees in Thailand using a self-administered Google Forms questionnaire. Transformational leadership inspires employees to perform beyond their job expectations and imbibe personal values aligned with organisational goals. Perceived sustainability policy refers to employees' perceptions of their organisation's strong commitment to environmental sustainability, whereas green shared vision is a collective understanding of the organisation's long-term ecological objectives. WarpPLS 8.0 was used to analyse the data, and the results indicate that transformational leadership, sustainability policies, and a shared green vision significantly promote employees' pro-environmental behaviours.
