“…In line with a growing body of practical research that has proven the significant link between leadership and green performance level [36] and specifically confirmed the effectiveness of SL theory in anticipating sustainability activities [37], Robertson and Barling [38] coined the "environmentally specific servant leadership" (ESSL) concept as a manifestation of SL where the leadership activities are all concentrated on fostering green behaviors [23]. Thus, in contrast to other leaders who strongly emphasize performance and promote competitive and materialistic cultures where what one accomplishes is more significant than who one is, servant leaders consider that caring for employees should be intrinsic rather than just a means of enhancing business performance and financial success [39][40][41]. Hence, these leaders are more likely to promote environmentally harmonious cultures in which who one is outweighs what one achieves [22,42].…”

Sustainability and environmental concerns have become increasingly important in the business world, with organizations seeking to integrate sustainable practices and enhance their brand citizenship behavior. Servant leadership that is focused on the environment is a type of leadership approach that gives prominence to preserving and promoting environmental sustainability. This study aims to examine the impact of environmentally specific servant leadership on brand citizenship behavior, with a focus on the mediating roles of green-crafting behavior and employee-identified meaningful work. Drawing on data from a survey of 319 employees working in hotels, this study conducted partial least square–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test a dual-moderated mediation model to explore the direct and indirect effects of environmentally specific servant leadership on brand citizenship behavior. The results of this study reveal that environmentally specific servant leadership has a significant and positive impact on green-crafting behavior and employee meaningful work. Moreover, green-crafting behavior and employee-perceived meaningful work both mediate the link between environmentally specific servant leadership and brand citizenship behavior. Specifically, green-crafting behavior acts as a mediator between environmentally specific servant leadership and employee-perceived meaningful work, while employee-perceived meaningful work mediates the link between green-crafting behavior and brand citizenship behavior. These findings have important implications for managers and organizations that seek to enhance their sustainability and brand citizenship behavior. Specifically, this study highlights the critical role of environmentally specific servant leadership (ESSL) in promoting green-crafting behavior and employee-perceived meaningful work, which in turn influence brand citizenship behavior. Therefore, organizations can improve their brand citizenship performance by developing ESSL behaviors and practices that foster green-crafting behavior and employee-perceived meaningful work.

“…Employee involvement, according to studies, is essential for an organization's EMS to be successful (Almaiah et al, 2022e;Mazzi et al, 2016). Employee green behavior (EGB) also enables a company to improve its environmental performance and gain a competitive edge (Alshebami et al, 2023;Kim et al, 2019).…”

Education institutions are thought to be largely responsible for environmental pollution even though businesses of all shapes and sizes contribute to this issue. This research explores how important factors might help government universities in Jordan develop and implement green innovation. It seeks also to examine whether the academic citizenship behaviour is a mediating variable that explains the connection between green training and development, green recruitment and selection, and organization environmental performance. Accordingly, an email survey was conducted to collect responses from 404 employees in the Jordanian Government universities. The study used contemporary variance-based structural equation modelling (Amos-SEM) for data analysis and hypothesis testing. The obtained results indicated a positive association between green training and development and two variables, namely academic citizenship behaviour, and organization environmental performance. They also indicated a positive association between green recruitment and selection and two variables, namely, academic citizenship behaviour and organization environmental performance. As well as between academic citizenship behaviour and organization environmental performance. Furthermore, they showed mediating effects of academic citizenship behaviour in the relationship between green training and development and organization environmental performance and between green recruitment and selection and organization environmental performance. This paper helps to provide insights to HRM practitioners, shedding light on the importance of Green HRM practices and their role in enhancing organization environmental performance.

Environmental concerns are rapidly becoming an essential component of successful entrepreneurship; consequently, managers at all levels have begun to acknowledge the significance of environmentally responsible innovation in achieving sustainable company performances. When it comes to mitigating the effects of environmental deterioration and fostering the growth of new businesses, the importance of the roles played by manufacturing and service industries cannot be overstated. Green innovation capabilities may impact the entrepreneurial performance of organizations in the manufacturing sector and the services sector, however, there has been little research on the relationship between green entrepreneurial approach and green innovation. As a result, the goal of this study is to evaluate the impact that a green entrepreneurial orientation has on an organization’s capacity for green innovation as well as the impact that this aptitude has on the success of entrepreneurial initiatives in China. The sample includes involvement from 300 workers in China’s manufacturing and service industries, all of whom were at different levels. The data analysis was performed using the partial least square approach, often known as the PLS-SEM. According to the study’s conclusions, the elements that have the greatest impact on business success are an entrepreneurial orientation toward sustainability and the potential for green innovation.
