Abstract
This study examines how green transformational
leadership in a developing country’s
manufacturing sector is impacted by green
HRM practices that are focused on Environmental,
Social, and Governance (ESG). The
theoretical frameworks of the resource-based
view, social learning theory, and stakeholder
theory elucidate the mechanisms by which the
effective integration of ESG principles with HR
practices impacts green leadership practices.
Partial Least Squares Structural Equation
Modeling (PLS-SEM) quantitatively evaluated
the dependent variable of green transformational
leadership in conjunction with the dimensions
of environmental, social, and governance
practices. Using purposive sampling,
data were collected from 487 full-time executives
within manufacturing enterprises. The
results show that all three elements of ESG-focused
green HR practices have a significant
impact on green transformational leadership.
