    The construction sector has always been led to environmental challenges caused by unsustainable actions of human activity, thereby, increasing demand for environmental responsibility (ER) practices in the sector. This research is conducted to investigate how key measurements of pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) could be related to ER practices of construction projects. The results show that employees’ perceptions of ER practices directed toward non-owner stakeholders are positively related to their PEBs. This relationship is partially mediated by the environmental commitment of project participants. Conversely, employees’ perceptions of ER practices directed toward the local community (external stakeholders) have only an insignificant impact on their PEBs. The study uses survey approach to collect data using a self- administered questionnaire from the sample of 340 in different construction firms of Pakistan by using convenience sampling technique. Basic descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression is executed to demonstrates how ER activities aimed at different stakeholders could be used and at what mechanism ER practices can efficiently be employed by project participants to stimulate their pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs).

    In a typical modern society, around half of all the physical asset creation is the responsibility of the construction industry, thereby, generating around 10% of national wealth (GDP)”. Large development ventures are here and there alluded to as mega projects. “Construction as an industry includes 6% to 9% of the total national GDP” (Chitkara, 1998). “Construction begins with arranging plan and financing; it proceeds until the venture is fabricated and prepared for use”. Construction industry has been the main source of air, water and noise pollution (Fuertes et al., 2013). All these problems illustrate great concern towards environmental sustainability measures by minimizing negative impacts of construction sites (Janis, 2014). In Pakistan, it is exceptionally uncommon case that construction project is finished on the time indicated or settled upon. There are numerous development extends in Pakistan, which endured delay or sometimes endured suspension or desertion. “Some examples of large construction projects, which suffered delay or suffering delay, are: reconstruction of Earthquake affected roads, reconstruction of Floods affected roads, China industrial cities in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan, Port tower complex by KPT, Motorways of Pakistan, National Highways of Pakistan, and Kalabagh Dam” (Haseeb et al., 2011). Pakistan’s construction sector the hot cake to remote investors assumes a critical role in the economy of any nation. CPEC presently under construction in Pakistan is a key case of a development in totality as all infrastructure ventures consolidated under its umbrella are esteemed at $62 billion by 2017. Ongoing evaluations published in Pakistan economic survey indicate the industry expansion by “9.1% in fy17 and contributed 2.7% to the nation’s GDP.”
