Resumo

A interligação entre lucros, pessoas e ambiente tem sido bem reconhecida nas organizações (Elkington, 1998). Com as questões de sustentabilidade vindo à tona, organizações em todo o mundo são incentivadas a adotar formas sustentáveis ​​de trabalhar alinhadas aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. O comportamento sustentável dos funcionários no local de trabalho pode desempenhar um papel significativo no fortalecimento da influência positiva do desempenho ambiental da empresa e pode levar à transição sustentável da organização para gerar inovações sustentáveis. Diz-se que o século 21 é impulsionado pela TI e a Índia promete ser uma potência do conhecimento. O setor de TI-BPM (tecnologia da informação e gerenciamento de processos de negócios) representou 7,4% do PIB da Índia em 2022 e deve contribuir com cerca de 10% até 2025, tornando-se um dos setores que mais contribuem para o crescimento econômico (IBEF, 2022). É imperativo que o setor de TI desenvolva produtos de TI sustentáveis ​​para reduzir as emissões de carbono em todos os setores da economia, o que não pode ser alcançado sem o comportamento pró-ambiente ativo exibido pelos funcionários. O Comportamento Sustentável do Colaborador no local de trabalho é ainda um tema de investigação relativamente recente, pelo que este domínio carece de estudos na referida área. A presente pesquisa examina o papel que as variáveis ​​demográficas desempenham na determinação do nível de comportamento sustentável dos funcionários entre aqueles que trabalham no setor de TI. A implicação gerencial do estudo se concentra em como as empresas de TI podem promover um comportamento sustentável entre seus funcionários no local de trabalho dentro do contexto demográfico.
