The context of overexploitation of natural resources and increasing atmospheric pollution has led to a weakening of our ecosystems, and the most important causes of this degradation are anthropogenic, they&#8217;re caused by humans. Thus, research on the behavior of humans and their activities is becoming essential.<\/p>\n<p>Since the impact of the non-residential sector (e.g. service sectors, industries) is significantly higher than the residential sector, it is crucial to conduct research in workplaces; these continue to be neglected in comparison to residential settings. Organizations must be part of the solution!<\/p>\n<p>In the workplace, environmental management policies and practices (e.g., ISO standards, certification) are essential, but they do not systematically lead to behavioral change. So we chose to examine the influence of psychological variables (social support and empowerment); our results show that they play an important role in encouraging people to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors at work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why did you choose to publish the results through an infographic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div> <\/div>\n<p>To reach a wider audience and raise awareness among researchers, students, managers and citizens. A scientific article can sometimes be too dry for the general public, whereas an infographic, by its attractive character, can appeal to individuals beyond the academic community. Indeed, scientific articles are not accessible to everyone, whereas eco-responsible behaviors affect us all. It is therefore essential to broaden the reach of our research results to ensure a fluid circulation of knowledge and observe a real change in

This book, written with Professor Pascal Paill\u00e9, is based on a chapter of my PhD thesis. For this research, we reviewed articles on environmentally responsible behavior in the workplace, published over a period of 43 years (1977 to 2020), in order to provide the most exhaustive picture of the situation (definitions of environmentally responsible behavior, means of measuring it, drivers and obstacles to the adoption of these behaviors, geographical and methodological trends, future prospects&#8230;).&nbsp; The mobilization of the majority of employees is crucial, as they are on the front line and the use of their knowledge is essential to the proper use of resources towards the preservation of ecosystems. We have therefore proposed a series of behaviors related to the green identity of individuals (lax ecologist, indifferent ecologist, eco-altruist and eco-activist) to increase their environmental commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-936ffff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"936ffff\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-58a45c9\" data-id=\"58a45c9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e517d52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e517d52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition, since the beginning of the year, I have been a columnist for &#8220;Reflet de soci\u00e9t\u00e9&#8221;.
