Green Transformational Leadership

Global environmental concerns and increasing social pressure to conserve natural resources for future generations have compelled organizations to focus more on their environmental performance by adopting sustainable practices. This study aims to investigate the effect of environmentally-specific transformational leadership on green innovative behavior, with the mediating roles of green organizational identity and organizational embodiment, at Shahid Chamran Hospital in Isfahan. The research is applied in purpose and descriptive-correlational in methodology. The statistical population consisted of 170 managers and staff members across various departments of the hospital. Using Cochran’s formula, a sample of 117 individuals was selected. Data analysis and hypothesis testing were conducted through structural equation modeling (SEM) using Smart PLS and SPSS software. Construct validity and reliability tests were conducted to ensure the quality of the questionnaire. The findings revealed a significant direct effect of green transformational leadership on green innovative behavior. However, the mediating effect of green organizational identity and the moderating role of organizational embodiment in this relationship were not supported. Furthermore, green transformational leadership did not significantly influence green organizational identity, nor did organizational identity have a significant impact on green innovative behavior. These results suggest that if Chamran Hospital implements green transformational leadership initiatives to promote pro-environmental behavior among its employees, it can contribute to creating a more environmentally sustainable workplace, thereby reducing ecological harm and promoting a healthier environment.

In recent years, escalating environmental crises have prompted a worldwide commitment to sustainable business practices, with the adoption of green initiatives and strategies emerging as a key solution. Organizational improvement is widely acknowledged as a crucial mechanism for implementing strategic programs and facilitating fundamental change within firms. This study examines the effects of green transformational leadership, green human resource management (GHRM), green innovation, and organizational support on the sustainable performance of manufacturing companies operating in the Shiraz Grand Industrial Park. Furthermore, it explores the moderating effect of perceived organizational support on the associations between green transformational leadership, GHRM, green innovation, and sustainable performance. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) via AMOS software. The findings indicate that green transformational leadership, GHRM, and green innovation each exert a direct and significant positive influence on sustainable firm performance. These findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and managers aiming to design effective strategies for sustainable development.
