Engaged employees has the ability to make big differences if the organisations are able to provide positive psychological climate, resources for the job, management support as well as good working conditions. So, there is need to understand how the employee commitment for the environment protection can be enhanced related to protection and improvement of environment (Cantor, et al. 2015). The review of literature suggests that the research focussing on participation of employees in pro-environmental behaviour is very scarce and leads for additional research to better understand pro-environmental behaviour within the firm in general and employee behaviour in particular. Manager’s attitude towards environmental issues has great impact on environmental performance (Pagell and Gobeli, 2009). Therefore, the present study attempts to analyse that which type of behaviours of the supervisors are necessary to initiate eco-initiatives among its employees. Moreover, the present study has proposed a framework to analyse the associations and the impact of various managerial factors on employee’s eco-initiatives in the firms. Keeping this consideration, the tentative title of the proposed study is formulated as “Employee engagement in environmental protection: A study of selected companies in Punjab”.

KEYWORDS: Employee engagement, Eco-initiatives, Environmental issues, Pro-environmental behaviour etc.
