The relationship between environmentally oriented servant leadership, green innovation, and organizational performance: The moderating role of commitment capital

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of environmentally oriented servant leadership on the green performance of organizations. This quantitative study employed a mixed-method survey (combining online questionnaires and face-to-face interviews) to collect data from 321 employees in medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam. All measures utilized a 5-point Likert scale to ensure consistency and reliability. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), a method chosen for its robustness in handling complex models and non-normal data, to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicated that commitment capital plays a moderating role in the relationship between environmentally oriented servant leadership and employees' green innovation, which has positive effects on the green performance of the organization. Based on the findings, recommendations are provided to help motivate and enhance green performance, assisting businesses and organizations in accomplishing sustainable development goals.
