Fostering Environmental Sustainability through Green HRM Green Leadership and Work Commitment

The paper presents Green Leadership as an independent variable, to examine how Green Human Resource Management and Green Work commitment influence the sustainability of the environmental factors in an organization and fill the gap in the literature related to the role of leadership in sustainable workplaces. The quantitative research design was used whereby 407 employees working in international bodies in the IT, Manufacturing and education sector were used in Pakistan and Uzbekistan. The analysis of data was conducted with Smart PLS 4.0 in order to test 15 hypotheses, mediation and moderation effects. Findings suggest that green leadership tends to positively influence the connection between Green HRM and green work commitment, and green commitment among employees is a significant mediation of green HRM and leadership on the results of environmental sustainability. The research includes a holistic approach by combining the sustainable organizational development with the focus on the fact that green leadership is essential in the process of the transfer of the HR policies into the meaningful behavior of employees, and green leadership is a component of the Green HRM framework. The weaknesses are the use of self-reported data and non-probability sampling, which indicates that future studies are needed on the cultural impact on the effectiveness of green leadership. Incorporating the concept of green leadership into the sustainability paradigm, this study highlights that committed leadership enhances green HR practices and increases the likelihood of the employee to be committed to sustainability objectives.
