Sustainable Consumption Behaviour Spill-Over from Workplace to Private Life: Conceptual Framework

The paper seeks to reveal the holistic approach to the sustainable consumption behaviour spill-over from workplace to private life. The results of theoretical research contribute to the development of sustainable consumption theory highlighting the importance of adequate human resource management practices for the spill-over effect. Previous research on the topic indicate their focus on the spill-over across domains, such as water, energy, etc. Consequently, there is a lack of conceptual background for further research, so the aim of the paper is to determine patterns how sustainable consumption behaviour can be spilled-over from workplace to private life. Conceptual framework is based on the preposition that workplace is considered as an inducing source, which can stimulate or draw-back sustainable behaviour both at workplace and in private life. The main findings of theoretical research, herewith the main elements of conceptual model are organizational and private life settings and their interrelation drivers which enable the sustainable consumption behaviour spill-over from workplace to private life.
