1. IntroductionOrganizational environmental management serves the “dual carbon” development strategic goals, which can improve organizational environmental performance and add a green background and quality to build a prosperous society in a comprehensive manner. As the subjective actors in the process of environmental management, employees are the undertakers and promoters of organizational environmental responsibility [1]. Employee green behavior (EGB) is related to the implementation effect of various environmental protection measures. In addition, EGB complements the green development strategy at the organizational level and green human resource management at the functional level. This forms a virtuous circle of sustainable development for corporate green development [2]. Therefore, EGB is defined as scalable action and behavior that employees engage in that are linked with and contribute to or detract from environmental sustainability [3]. Research on the motivation of EGB has become an important topic in achieving organizational environmental management goals and promoting organizational sustainable development [4,5].Employees’ behavior is closely related to the organizational environment. Organizational rules and regulations, culture, climate, and organizational behavior are important factors affecting employee attitudes and shaping employees’ behavior [6]. Corporate social responsibility characteristics (CSRCs) are an aspect of organizational characteristics, which describe the long-term, stable organizational characteristics of corporate social responsibility from three dimensions: corporate social responsibility culture, corporate social responsibility climate, and corporate social responsibility performance (i.e., “thoughts”, “words”, and “actions”) [7]. Compared with the content of corporate social responsibility, CSRCs explore the internal spirit and external behavior of corporate social responsibility from the perspective of organizational characteristics. Therefore, CSRCs can exert a more prominent impact on employees’ attitudes and behaviors [8]. Previous research has shown that corporate social responsibility can create a good organizational culture and moral climate, which are of great value for cultivating the moral values of employees and reducing unethical behavior [9].

The Link Between Urban Green Spaces and Mental Well-beingIndependent Variable: Presence of urban green spacesDependent Variable: Mental well-beingMediating Variable: Frequency of nature interactionsWhen urban areas have more green spaces, residents tend to interact more frequently with nature, either by walking, exercising, or simply spending time in these areas.

Scranton’s Department of Public Works painted green traffic lines Tuesday along the route of the upcoming St. Patrick’s Parade in downtown Scranton, continuing an annual tradition that has preceded the parade for over 35 years. As he has done for the past 25 years or so, DPW employee “Irish” Gene Reed manned the machine that sprayed out paint on the pavement as he pushed it along. Scranton police and other DPW employees assisted with traffic control during the line painting Tuesday. One of the largest parades in the country celebrating Irish heritage, the parade in Scranton is a production of the St. Patrick’s Parade Association of Lackawanna County. A 33-year city employee, Reed enjoys painting the green lines for the parade each year, saying, “I’m Irish and this is my hometown. It’s an honor.” The parade Saturday steps off at 11:45 a.m. on Wyoming Avenue, starting at the Mulberry Street intersection.Green paint is applied to Scranton DPW employee Gene Reed paints the center line on Lackawanna Avenue in preparation for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Scranton Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
