The data was conveniently obtained from a cross-sectional survey of 425 university lecturers in Malaysia. This article provides data about the participants’ demographic characteristics and the descriptive data of participants’ responses. Further, the mean, standard deviation, reliability of the measured constructs, and regression analysis model summary are provided. This dataset offers suggestions to the top management of higher education institutions and commercial organizations in deducing ways to encourage green behaviour among employees in order to reduce environmental degradation.
