THE ROLE OF OCB GREEN EMPLOYEES IN SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SIGI GREEN REGIONAL REGULATION IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE OF SIGI REGENCY

The implementation of local environmental policies is not solely determined by formal regulations , but also by the discretionary behavior of public employees as policy implementers . This study aims to analyze the role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior for the Environment (OCB Green) in supporting the implementation of Sigi Regency Regulation No. 4 of 2019 on Sigi Hijau at the Environmental Agency of Sigi Regency. A qualitative descriptive approach with a constructivist paradigm was employed . Data were collected through in- depth interviews , field observations , and document analysis involving eight informants selected using snowball sampling. Thematic analysis was conducted based on three OCB Green dimensions : eco- initiatives , eco- helping , and eco- civic engagement . The findings reveal that policy implementation is significantly strengthened by employees ' extra-role behaviors . Eco- initiatives enhance internalization of environmental values , eco- helping reinforces a green organizational culture , and eco- civic engagement extends policy impacts to the community . These results indicate that OCB Green functions as an informal mechanism bridging formal policy and practical implementation , thereby improving the effectiveness of local environmental governance
