This is consistent with the findings of previous research, which has shown that green practices can increase employee job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intentions. Second, the study provides support for the view that employee motivation can have a positive impact on sustainable entrepreneurial behaviors. This is consistent with the findings of previous research, which has shown that motivated employees are more likely to engage in prosocial behaviors, such as environmental protection.
