Call for unpublished studies on required pro-environmental behavior

  • 1.  Call for unpublished studies on required pro-environmental behavior

    Posted 05-30-2025 08:28

    Dear ONE Community,

    One of my PhD students is currently conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis on required pro-environmental behavior-that is, pro-environmental actions that are required, in-role, task-related, prescribed, compulsory, or mandated in either organizational or societal contexts.

    To ensure a comprehensive and balanced synthesis of the literature, and to help minimize publication bias, we need your help to identify any unpublished studies (e.g., working papers, conference proceedings, or in-press articles) that focus on required forms of pro-environmental behavior.

    We are particularly interested in studies that fall into one of the following two categories:

    1) Organizational context: Studies investigating pro-environmental behaviors that are required or expected by organizations, such as when employees are mandated to carry out job tasks in environmentally responsible ways (e.g., required recycling at work, eco-friendly procedures embedded in role descriptions).

    2) Societal context: Studies examining pro-environmental behaviors mandated by governments or public authorities in everyday life (e.g., 46 cities in China have enforced household waste sorting).

    If you have relevant unpublished work, or know of others who do, we would be sincerely grateful if you could share it with us. Please contact my PhD student, Jie Tang directly at: j.tang@leeds.ac.uk

    Please feel free to pass this request on to any others you think may be interested or are conducting relevant research. If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please don't hesitate to contact us.

    Thank you very much for your support!

    Cheers,

    Sally
