Examining the Nexus Between Green Organizational Culture and Sustainable Environmental Performance: Mediating Role of Employee Green Creativity

Abstract

This study aims to examine the mediating effect of employee green creativity on the relationship between green organizational culture and sustainable environmental performance through the lens of natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). An empirical study was carried out to achieve the study’s objectives by adopting a survey of 202 employees from selected banks operating in the Vavuniya district of Sri Lanka. The study's findings revealed positive and significant relationships among the study variables. Moreover, the study's empirical findings indicated that employee green creativity mediates the relationship between green organizational culture and sustainable environmental performance. The findings of this study have important implications for researchers about the mediating role of employee green creativity within the Sri Lankan banking sector. Moreover, the findings enable industry stakeholders to promote employees' green creativity by adapting a green organizational culture to improve sustainable environmental performance in the lens of NRBV and TPB theories.
