Abstract

With the formation of the concept of Cyber Physical Social Energy System, social and human factors become more prominent and stay at an important position. The interaction between the energy system and the social system will have a huge impact on the development of the energy system. As one of the hot topics in the CPSES area, the influence of the transformational leadership on the team green behaviors has attracted extensive attention of the academics. By influencing the enterprise behaviors through the leadership behaviors, it can promote the development of the Power Energy Internet Platform Technology and accelerate the application of the technology. Based on the Affective Events Theory, this article discusses the influencing mechanism and key factors of the transformational leadership on the team green behaviors. A total of 3 821 employees and their supervisors from 457 work teams in 19 energy enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region were tracked.
