Abstract
The demand for organizations to assume greater environmental responsibility has increased in recent years. This demand comes from different segments: clients, suppliers, governments, and the general public. However, many organizations face challenges with the human resources needed to implement environmental initiatives, making it necessary to understand which factors can positively influence the sustainable behavior of those involved in the process. In this perspective, this study aims to raise the theoretical references available on the theme of sustainable behavior of individuals, to better understand the precedents. Techniques of systematization of literature review were used next to the searches made in two scientific databases: Web of Science and Scopus. Upon all the selections made using filters, the search returned 34 articles, published between 2008 and 2017, which were subsequently analyzed so as to identify similarities and major differences between them. It was found that most studies rely on a psychological perspective to understand the precedents of sustainable behavior. Besides that, values, beliefs, and worldviews are still perceived as the main influencers.
