Hong Kong banks have exploited the concept of green banking to show commitment and support for environmental sustainability. Institutions have adopted the concept of green banking as a measure of environmental compliance and legitimacy to governments, regulators and society. The transition by banks to a sustainable business model demands the resolute commitment of employees to environmental protocols. This study investigated the perceptions and behaviour of bank managers to green banking practices. Defining green banking as anything associated with resource preservation and sustainable finance.The study embraced the constructivist grounded theory approach with qualitative data collected from Hong Kong bank managers through in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data generation and analysis was concurrent and employed constant comparison methodology, requiring higher levels of conceptualisation and abstraction. The development of the Green Banking Cultural Theory evolved from the discovery of the three significant theoretical categories "personal values", "corporate culture", and "satisficing", and the central unifying theme "cultural beliefs". The theory characterised aspects of personal benefit, lived experience, age, environmental education, knowledge, and cultural background, as constructs which promoted or impeded the adoption of green banking practices.The results found bank leadership molded corporate culture and influenced the environmental beliefs of managers. Limited in-house environmental education, narrow employee performance measurement, mixed messaging, and cultural ambiguity, reduced the manager's environmental advocacy. Leading to employee satisficing, defined as a decision made by managers to do what was necessary to satisfy the minimum environmental standards.The study contributes to existing knowledge pertaining to the alignment of employee values in a workplace containing diverse cultural backgrounds. Application of the conceptual Green Banking Cultural Theory will assist bank management in defining areas of nonalignment. The findings provide insight for banks to reconsider the frameworks utilised for employee performance measurement and remuneration to motivate the resolute adoption of green banking practices.
