Abstract

The study examines the role of green transformational leadership (GTL) in fostering pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) through green human resource management (GHRM). In addition, a moderating role of environmental knowledge is also investigated. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique is employed to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings revealed the significance of GTL in predicting employees' PEBs through the mediating role of GHRM. Further, the moderating role of environmental knowledge is also confirmed. This study presents a thorough and synergistic comprehension of the process through which PEBs can be promoted. In doing so, the study offers a deeper understanding of the interconnected mechanisms that promote PEBs and eventually guide organizational practice.
