Abstract
Environmental issues are taking more attentions from many countries in the world and have forced proactive companies to adopt environmental policy and encourage supervisory support behaviors in an aim to increase employee willingness to promote eco-initiatives. The study assessed environmental policy and supervisory support behaviors as creating an impetus for environmental actions in companies, leading to environmentally proactive firms sending encourgamental signals to employees. Data of 212 mid- and low- level employees was collected from questionnaire survey at three companies located in Hà Nội and Đà Nẵng City in Vietnam during January 2013. By using likelihood ratio tests and logistic regression analyses, the results supported both two hypotheses: Environmental policies will influence on employee willingness to promote eco-initiatives; Supervisory support behaviors will influence on employee willingness to promote eco-initiatives. From then on, some implications were suggested.
