Abstract

Employees play a crucial role as a target group for energy conservation initiatives. Although the concept of employee energy-saving behaviors (EEB) in enterprises has been acknowledged and attracted some attention, there is a notable lack of a systematic and comprehensive review of EEB in previous studies. This study aims to fill this gap by providing a critical review of existing research on EEB. Employing a rigorous search protocol and thorough content analysis, seventy relevant studies were identified and critically analyzed. This study determines the application of social psychology theories in EEB and discusses the factors affecting EEB to serve future research and help develop new theoretical propositions about EEB. The research methods and intervention measures of EEB are summarized and future directions for research on EEB are discussed.
