%X Responsible leadership focuses on the balance between economic, social
and environmental benefits, which is in line with the value concept of green
development. However, whether responsible leadership can effectively promote
employees¡¯ green behaviours and help enterprises achieve green and sustainable
development still needs to be further explored. In order to explore the
mechanism and boundary conditions of responsible leadership on employees¡¯ green
behaviours, the article constructs a dual-path research model based on the work
requirement-resource theory and resource preservation theory, with work
vitality and work pressure as mediating variables and self-efficacy as
moderating variable, and analyses the data collected from 342 samples. The
empirical results show that: responsible leadership positively influences
employees¡¯ green behaviours through the mediation of job vitality; responsible
leadership negatively influences employees¡¯ green behaviours through the
mediation of job stress; and compared with low self-efficacy employees, high
self-efficacy employees can generate more job vitality and less job stress
under responsible leadership, which promotes employees¡¯ green behaviours.
