Abstract

Research show that the concept of sustainability based on employees' environmental behavior has been largely ignored, and there is a need for a comprehensive research on past and future research trends. The present study was carried out to design a model of sustainability in the workplace based on the environmental behavior of employees. This research is based on a mixed approach and done by using bibliometric network analysis of the existing research background published between 2005 and 2024, a systematic review of the literature and a semi-structured interview. The dimensions of environmental behavior in the workplace include protection, avoiding harm, transforming, influencing others and, taking the initiative, and the antecedents of environmental behavior in the workplace include personality traits, demographic characteristics, external factors including interventions, period educational programs, and environmental campaigns, situational factors related to the organization and leadership support, and internal factors include cognitive factors, emotional factors, social factors, and motivational factors.. Education for sustainability and the design of environmental campaigns is one of the most frequent concepts in the systematic review of articles and interviews of experts; therefore, policymakers and planning managers of organizations and macro-level planning managers of the country can develop environmental policies in the field of designing educational courses and environmental campaigns for companies at individual, organizational and social levels.
