ABSTRACT
The current study attempted to inspect the influence of green human resource management (GHRM) practices and green innovation (GI) on environmental performance. Besides, the study considered green corporate social responsibility (GCSR) as a mediator to elaborate on the influence of GHRM and green innovation on environmental performance. Additionally, the current study assessed the role of green transformational leadership (GTFL) by the focus on GHRM and GI on GCSR. Data were gathered from 310 employees who are working in public and private banks by using a survey questionnaire. Subsequently, the data were analysed by using the partial least square structural equation modelling technique. The study findings showed that GHRM and GI positively influenced GCSR. In addition, the results revealed an insignificant relationship between GHRM and environmental performance (EP), whereas the influence of GI on environmental performance was significant. Moreover, GCSR positively influenced environmental performance. The results supported the mediator task of GCSR between the influence of GHRM and GI on EP. Finally, the findings indicated GTFL as a significant moderator. The study was theoretically grounded on NRBV theory. The study adds to the GHRM, GTFL, GCSR, green innovation and environmental performance theory in novel ways. The study also added to the literature by providing evidence on how transformational leadership can serve as a booster to transform the influence of GHRM on GCSR.
