Abstract

The current study examines the impact of sustainable leadership on employees' environmental performance in the oil and gas sector. It explores the mediating role of green behavior and the moderating role of environmental knowledge in this relationship. A moderated mediation analysis was conducted using 250 valid responses from 320 online questionnaires. Hypothesis testing was performed using SPSS and SmartPLS to ensure robust statistical analysis. The results show that environmental performance and sustainable leadership are positively related. The association is moderated by environmental knowledge to boost the effectiveness of sustainability programs. Additionally, employee green behavior mediates the effect of leadership reinforcing the idea that substantiality-driven employee actions improve overall environmental performance. The results also indicate a gap in the implementation of sustainability leadership practices, emphasizing the need for training programs to enhance employees' environmental awareness. By linking environmental knowledge, leadership, and employee behavior, the study contributes to the growing body of knowledge research on sustainable leadership. It offers practical recommendations to the oil and gas industry for strategic leadership approaches that integrate sustainability training and employee engagement. Ultimately, this research provides a roadmap for organizations seeking to maximize their environmental impact through proactive and informed leadership.
