Abstract
This study connects ethical leadership and green management to unlock the knowledge behind sustainability success, investigating the impact of environmental management and ethical leadership on the green performance of firms, both directly and indirectly, through the mediating role of green knowledge sharing, providing a framework for understanding how these factors interplay to drive sustainability within organizations. Data were collected from a sample of 207 wineries, and their analysis was carried out using the PLS‐SEM technique. The findings show that environmental management and ethical leadership positively and significantly influence green performance and that green knowledge sharing has a mediating role in these relationships. It is concluded that firms should adopt a holistic approach to sustainability, integrating environmental management practices and ethical leadership with effective knowledge sharing mechanisms to reduce the environmental impact of business activities on the natural environment. This research has significant theoretical, managerial, and policy implications.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
