Research on pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in the workplace is increasing. However, the prevailing research is typically based on the assumption that PEB are relatively stable, suggesting that employees consistently engage in PEB over time. In contrast to viewing employees as being consistently green or not, we focus on investigating within-person fluctuations in PEB over short periods. Given that PEB can be influenced by dynamic contextual factors such as daily work experiences, we investigate a key work-related experience—performance pressure—and its underlying mechanisms. Drawing on threat rigidity theory, we propose a dual pathway model in which daily performance pressure exerts parallel negative effects on PEB through two distinct cognitive information processing tendencies. Using an experience sampling method involving 114 employees across 10 consecutive workdays, we reveal that daily performance pressure diminishes PEB by fostering an increase in self-focused information processing and a reduction in other-focused information processing. Additionally, this negative indirect effect is more pronounced among employees with high psychological entitlement. We also discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings.

关于工作场所亲环境行为（PEB）的研究正在不断增加。然而，流行的研究通常基于 PEB 相对稳定的假设，表明员工随着时间的推移持续参与 PEB。与判断员工是否始终保持绿色相反，我们重点调查短期内 PEB 的内部波动。鉴于 PEB 可能受到动态环境因素（例如日常工作经历）的影响，我们研究了与工作相关的关键经历——绩效压力——及其潜在机制。借鉴威胁刚性理论，我们提出了一个双路径模型，其中日常绩效压力通过两种不同的认知信息处理倾向对 PEB 产生平行的负面影响。使用涉及 114 名员工、连续 10 个工作日的经验抽样方法，我们发现日常绩效压力会促进以自我为中心的信息处理的增加和以他人为中心的信息处理的减少，从而降低 PEB。此外，这种负面的间接影响在心理权利高的员工中更为明显。我们还讨论了我们的研究结果的理论和实践意义。
