“…First, our results show that top management's GTL improves a firm's GOLC (GAC and GTC). This evidence is completely consistent with scientists arguing that there is a significant positive relationship between GTL and green creativity (Chen andChang, 2013a, 2013b;Mittal and Dhar, 2016;Jia et al, 2018;Bahzar, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020a;Shah et al, 2020;Mansoor et al, 2021;Jiang et al, 2021) and followers' green self-efficacy (Chen et al, 2014;Zafar et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2020b;Farooq et al, 2021) and green mindfulness (Chen et al, 2015a(Chen et al, , 2015b. These findings also confirm the current literature claiming that TL improves AC (Ferreras M endez et al, 2017) and OL processes (Shin and Zhou, 2003).…”

Purpose This study aims to develop an original green organizational learning capability (GOLC) framework to examine the effects of green transformational leadership (GTL) on competitive advantage (CA) through GOLC by making use of the natural resource-based view (NRBV). Design/methodology/approach The current research proposes GOLC as a novel construct that simultaneously integrates green absorptive capability (GAC) and green transformative capability (GTC). Furthermore, this study presents a theoretical model that investigates GOLC as an intermediate mechanism in the relationship between GTL and CA based on the NRBV. The partial least squares method is used to test the data collected from 265 firms included in the list of Turkey’s Top 500 Industrial Enterprises in 2019 and having ISO 14001 certificate. Findings Top management’s GTL positively affects the firm’s GOLC. Moreover, GOLC positively affects the firm’s CA. This study further shows that GTL has a significant indirect effect on CA through GOLC. Practical implications This study demonstrates how firm managers can be persuasive in adopting GOLC with a critical role in developing and promoting green products and services to improve the firm’s environmental sustainability and CA by exhibiting GTL. Originality/value This research applies the NRBV theory to propose a novel concept, GOLC and develops an integral conceptual model to discover its managerial impacts, antecedent and consequence. No prior literature has examined the impact of top management’s GTL on GOLC and CA.

“…A recent study of Kusi et al [55] emphasized that GTL provides employees with a clear goal, motivation and inspiration through a green approach, and an appreciation for employees who are interested in their social responsibilities. Using sustainable green techniques to establish and maintain responsibility in an organization is a role and obligation for long-term success [10,29,[58][59][60]. Hence, the following hypothesis could be proposed: Hypothesis 2 (H2).…”

Since the inauguration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), environmental performance and sustainability have become more important to decision makers, scientists and leaders of organizations than before. In response to this, leaders of different organizations spend all endeavors conserving resources and ensuring environmental sustainability. In this context, transformational leaders have the capacity to ensure the green performance of their organization. The purpose of this study is to test the link between green transformational leadership (GTL), green innovation (GI), corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green performance (GP) in the hotel industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The study empirically tests the mediating effect of GI and CSR on the link between GTL and GP. The study used a quantitative research method via a pre-test instrument, self-distributed and collected from employees in large hotels at different regions of the KSA. The findings from 732 valid responses, analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that GTL had a significant effect on GI (β = +0.72, t-value = 14.603, p < 0.001), CSR (β = +0.58, t-value = 8.511, p < 0.001) and GP (β = +0.17, t-value = 2.585, p < 0.001). Moreover, GI and CSR had a direct positive effect on GP (β = +0.10, t-value = 2.866, p < 0.01 and β = +0.61, t-value = 4.358, p < 0.001, respectively). GI had a partial mediation effect (p = 0.048 < 0.05) on the link between GTL and GP. On the other hand, CSR had a perfect mediation effect (p = 0.077 > 0.05) on the link between GTL and GP. This reflects the vital part that CSR plays in this relationship, which can be changed based on the status of CSR. In addition, this reflects the value of CSR in achieving GP, which contributes to the achievement of environmental sustainability at a national level (i.e., the Green Saudi Initiative) at a regional level (i.e., the Green Middle East Initiative) and at an international level (i.e., UNSDGs).

“…In this context, recent research has identified GMFN as a personal cognitive resource that encourages a person to react to external cues. 41 According to Barbaro and Pickett, 42 cognitive resources in people automatically cause a variety of daily behaviors; as a result, GMFN leverages self-world connection with the outside world (ie, the green context in the tourism industry), which in turn elicits sustainable environmental behaviors. People who use their distinctive cognitive abilities, ie, G-MFN, are more aware of and responsive to everyday conditions in the present.…”

Aim The study is based on the self-determination theory and aims to investigate the mediating role of green intrinsic motivation and the moderating role of green shared vision in the association between frontline managers’ green mindfulness and green creative behavior to leverage their capacity to think creatively and act sustainably. Methods The study employs a time-lagged, multi-source research methodology to collect data from frontline managers of service businesses in the tourism and hospitality industry. Data are analyzed using SmartPLS Structural Equation Model to evaluate the structural and measurement models. The authors evaluated the measurement model by employing the criteria of internal consistency: reliability and Cronbach’s alpha, validity: convergent and discriminant validity; and the structural model using the path coefficient, coefficient of determination, predictive relevance, and goodness-of-fit metrics. Results Our findings indicate that green mindfulness significantly improves frontline managers’ green creative behavior. Additionally, green intrinsic motivation mediates the connection between green mindfulness and green creative behavior. In addition, the direct effect of green mindfulness on green intrinsic motivation as well as the indirect effect of green mindfulness on green creative behavior through green intrinsic motivation, are both significantly moderated by green shared vision. Discussion To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the few efforts that outstretch the boundary conditions of green mindfulness and green creative behavior through the mediating role of green intrinsic motivation and the moderating role of green shared vision.
