摘要

As the main force in the workplace, millennial employees exert significant influence in addressing environmental problems. Based on Self-Determination Theory, this study examines the impact of emotional leadership on the Organizational Citizenship Behavior for the Environment (OCBE) of millennial employees, as well as the roles of intrinsic motivation and perceived positive team climate in this relationship.​Bootstrap analysis of data from 357 Chinese millennial employees reveals three key findings. First, emotional leadership is significantly positively associated with millennial employees’ OCBE. Second, intrinsic motivation mediates this relationship. Finally, perceived positive team climate strengthens the indirect effect of emotional leadership on OCBE through intrinsic motivation. These findings highlight the motivational mechanism and boundary conditions underlying the effect of emotional leadership on millennial employees’ OCBE.
