Survey dataset on the double-edged effects of perceived greenwashing on employees' green creativity

At Time 3, participants self-reported their green creativity, yielding 344 responses (response rate = 90.29%).After matching the questionnaires across the three waves and excluding responses that failed the attention checks, the final sample consisted of 336 valid matched cases. Attrition analyses indicated no significant differences between retained and dropped samples in terms of gender (t = 1.31, p = 0.192), age (t = 0.84, p = 0.400), or educational level (t = 0.87, p = 0.386).In the final sample, 50.0% of participants were male.

The average age was 32.3 years (SD = 8.85), and 77.10% held a bachelor’s degree or higher. Participants had an average organizational tenure of 8.81 years (SD = 7.41). Regarding job positions, 56.50% were non-managerial employees, 25.90% were frontline supervisors, 15.80% were middle managers, and 1.80% were senior managers.
