Sustainable Behavior in the Business Sphere (2014, positive): “Promising results have been found, especially with individualized approaches in which information is tailored to the needs, wants, and perceived barriers of individual segments of employees (see, e.g., Lehman & Geller, 2004, for a review of these approaches).”
Green HRM and psychological safety: how transformational leadership drives follower’s job satisfaction (2020, background): “…depletion via wastages, water and air pollution, persistent usage of electricity and laptop emissions are intensifying carbon emissions to environment thereby, adding to climate change which has implications for our environment and well-being (Lehman & Geller, 2004; Robertson & Barling, 2013).”
Encouraging pro-environmental behaviour : An integrative review and research agenda (2009, background): “Commitment strategies appeared to be successful in encouraging pro-environmental behaviour (see Abrahamse et al., 2005; Lehman & Geller, 2004; Schultz et al., 1995).”
The positive psychology of sustainability (2012, background): “Extrinsic benefits are provided by external sources—in general, other persons or the material resources people obtain from their actions—which immediately reinforce and maintain pro-environmental actions, at least during the time those consequences are contingently administered (Geller 2002; Lehman ”
Happiness as Correlate of Sustainable Behavior: A Study of Pro-Ecological, Frugal, Equitable and Altruistic Actions That Promote Subjective Wellbeing (2011, background): “In fact, most people often behave the way they do because they obtain positive reinforcement; in addition, they act to avoid unpleasant consequences, and this also applies to sustainable behaviors (Lehman & Geller, 2004).”
Picking up litter: an application of theory-based communication to influence tourist behaviour in protected areas (2010, background): “…along with incentives and persuasive communication messages is often a key to success (Finnie, 1973; Geller, Brasted, & Mann, 1980; Geller, Witmer, & Orebaugh, 1976; Geller et al., 1982; Lehman & Geller, 2004; Liu & Sibley, 2004; O’Neill, Blanck, & Joyner, 1980; Powers, Osborne, & Anderson, 1973).”
Persuasive communication and proenvironmental behaviours: How message tailoring and message framing can improve the integration of behaviours through self-determined motivation. (2008, background): “People seem to react favourably to the strategies initially, but their behaviour declines over time, and more importantly, behaviour returns to baseline if the source of motivation is withdrawn (Lehman & Geller, 2004).”
Effects of Monetary Versus Environmental Information Framing: Implications for Long-Term Pro-Environmental Behavior and Intrinsic Motivation (2018, neutral): “…incentives can be effective strategies to motivate people for energy conservation (Abrahamse et al., 2005; Delmas, Fischlein, & Asensio, 2013), but pro-environmental behavior usually declines over time or returns to baseline when a monetary reward is no longer present (Lehman & Geller, 2004).”
The Use of Message Framing in the Promotion of Environmentally Sustainable Behaviors (2011, background): “…theories to encourage conservation and sustainable behaviors such as litter control, increasing recycling participation, and encouraging energy efficiency has soared in North America over the past two decades (Bator & Cialdini, 2000; Lehman & Geller, 2004; Pelletier, Lavergne, & Sharp, 2008).”
Testing the dimensionality of place attachment and its relationships with place satisfaction and pro-environmental behaviours: A structural equation modelling approach (2013, background): “Environmental behavioural scientists are increasingly seeking to apply principles of behaviour analysis to management of natural areas in an attempt to decrease behaviours that are detrimental to the natural environment and promote pro-environmental ones (Lehman & Geller, 2004).”
