Green Learning & Development, Green Intrinsic Motivation, Environmental Knowledge, Pro-Environmental Behavior,, Green Extrinsic Motivation, Green Organizational CultureAbstract
This study was made to explore the effect of Green Learning & Developing in the transformation of conventional training systems in the Technical Education and Vocational Training (TEVT) sector toward Green TEVT. In this study, a cross-section design was used, and data was collected from TEVT principals and assistant managers who are part of Green TEVT initiative programs launched by the TEVT Sector Support Program (Deutsche et al. (GIZ)). The revealed results indicate a significant positive impact of Green Learning & Development programs in the formulation of Green Intrinsic Motivation through the partial mediating effect of Environmental Knowledge, which has further contributed to the transformation of conventional training behavior of TEVT employees into Pro-Environmental Behavior and has significantly contributed in the formation of Green TEVT. Yet, the diminishing effect of Green Extrinsic Motivation was observed in this study. Therefore, future researchers, by exploring other factors like Leadership Styles, Sector-Specific Studies, and Implementation of Policies and Regulations as hurdles, can make a significant contribution in this context.
