Impact of perceived organizational support and green transformational leadership on sustainable organizational performance: a SEM approach

Abstract

PurposeThe study aims to scrutinize the concomitant associations between corporate social responsibility (CSR), perceived organizational support (POS), green transformational leadership (GTL) and organizational performance (OP). This paper aims to explore the role of intervening variable to measure the strength on the relationship between CSR and OP.Design/methodology/approachThis research administered a survey through self-administered questionnaire among the staff-level employees of construction companies of Nepal. Fully filled 305 responses from the participants were analyzed using a structural equation model. The study used self-structured questionnaire as research tool and face-to-face meetings as data collection technique.FindingsThe research indicates that POS showed competitive partial mediation relation between CSR and OP. Besides, a novel exploration of the moderation effect of GTL displays a supportive role in harmonizing the CSR with organizational support to achieve better OP. This study enriches empirical evidence to understand the linkage between CSR and POS in staff-level employees in the construction area. Moreover, the research shed a light on GTL 's moderating influence on the mediated model of CSR, POS and OP.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the results of the study add to the current knowledge base, several limitations highlight avenues for future research. Future studies can explore the relationship in other study areas with added evidence on a similar result with different analysis patterns and study sample. The research model studied in the context of Nepal creating evidence as a representation for the developing countries.Originality/valueThe intervening role of POS and GTL gives new insight for the research-based organization based social behavior and performance

Top management’s green transformational leadership and competitive advantage: the mediating role of green organizational learning capability

“…The empirical study by Zhao and Huang (2022) also indicates a positive relationship between GTL and sustainable business performance and claims that the firm has a high level of sustainable business performance, as it provides followers with green awareness and capabilities. Kusi et al (2021) reported that corporate social responsibility would lead to a higher level of organizational performance if GTL is encouraged in the firm. With its environmental orientation, GTL can promote the resources and capabilities required for green practice and bring sustainable economic and environmental performance and eventually improve a firm’s CA (Zameer et al , 2020; Zehir and Ozgul, 2020).…”

Fostering strategic entrepreneurship of SMEs: the role of organisational change forces

“…Influential transformational leaders supposedly articulate a shared vision of their firm's future and motivate organisational members to respond to the changing environment (Podsakoff et al, 1990). The transformational leader guides employees by instilling confidence and encouragement to adapt to changes that may offer value (Kusi et al, 2021). This confidence and motivation engage employees in innovative thinking, new working patterns and identifying new market opportunities, which are the fundamentals of SE.…”

Hustle and influence: the dynamics of illicit small business and political connections

“…In normal conditions, the role of governments is to serve the needs of their subjects, to manage and regulate their productivity and to enhance their living standards to the benefit of the masses. Corporations are mainly firms owned by individuals in constant search of new opportunities and higher profit margins (Kusi et al , 2021). The collaboration between both parties is normal because both of them are considered to be part of the same system one is public, and the other one is private.…”
