This study investigates the factors influencing employees’ pro-environmental behavior (PEB) within organizations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a nation with a strong policy focus on sustainability. Utilizing a questionnaire-based survey of 146 employees in an automotive division of a UAE company and structural equation modeling (SEM), the research examines the impact of green entrepreneurial orientation, green leadership, environmental commitment, and Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on employees’ willingness to engage in eco-friendly practices at work. The findings reveal that GHRM and green leadership significantly influence employees’ green entrepreneurial orientation, which in turn, alongside environmental commitment, positively impacts PEB. These results emphasize the importance of integrating sustainability into organizational culture, leadership, and human resource practices to foster a workforce that actively participates in environmental initiatives, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable communities and enhancing stakeholder engagement. The study provides valuable insights into the specific factors that drive PEB in the UAE context, where national policies prioritize sustainability, highlighting that the importance of implementing green practices and promoting a supportive environment encourages employees and stakeholders to embrace environmental sustainability. The research also sheds light on the role of green entrepreneurial orientation, suggesting that empowering employees to develop innovative environmental solutions can be a key driver of PEB. The SEM analysis also confirmed the positive impact of GHRM and green leadership on green entrepreneurial orientation. Additionally, green entrepreneurial orientation and environmental commitment were found to significantly influence PEB. These results have practical implications for organizations in the UAE and beyond, emphasizing that by integrating eco-friendly practices and fostering stakeholder engagement, organizations can enhance their environmental performance, strengthen their reputation, and attract environmentally conscious customers and employees, contributing to the development of sustainable communities.

Continuous and sustainable growth has become a daily norm, putting increasing pressure on organizations to adopt green practices to achieve sustainable competitive advantages. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the structural relationship between GHRM and GTL on EBs and GIP with the mediating role of EK. The research method was developmental-applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of research design, using a structural equation modeling approach. The statistical population consisted of all primary school teachers in Urmia city, Iran (Urmia city districts one and two) during the academic year 2022–2023. A one-stage cluster sampling method was used, and the sample size was determined to be 338 individuals using Morgan's table. Standard questionnaires were used to collect the required data, including the questionnaire by Zid et al. (2018) for GHRM, Zhang & Wang (2020) for GTL, Roberson, and Carleton (2018) for EBs, Chen et al. (2013) for GIP, and Me et al. (2012) for EK. Content validity of the research was ensured through the opinions of educational science professors, and the reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which yielded values of 0.90, 0.77, 0.79, 0.82, and 0.70, respectively. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, structural equation modeling, and confirmatory factor analysis with SPSS 28 and Smart PLS 3 software. The results of the research indicated a significant positive direct relationship between GHRM and GIP. There was a positive direct relationship between GTL and GIP. A positive direct relationship was found between GTL and EBs. However, there was no significant relationship between GHRM and EBs. There was an indirect non-significant relationship between GHRM and EBs with the mediating role of EK. There was no indirect relationship between GTL and GIP with the mediating role of EK. There was no indirect relationship between GTL and EBs with the mediating role of EK.
