Abstract

The study seeks to understand the impact of leadership styles on the organizational strategy of sustainability commitment, utilizing the mediator role of employees' eco-friendly practices in family firms in Malaysia. To achieve this aim, dual-stage structural equation modeling (SEM) and neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were employed to analyze the leadership style of Malaysian family firms. This study collects empirical data from 427 employees belonging to Malaysian family firms via a structured questionnaire. Results demonstrate supportive, authentic, and paternalistic leadership styles affect the sustainability commitment strategy of organizations. Moreover, employees' eco-friendly best practices fully mediate the link between leadership styles and the organizational strategy of sustainability commitment. Findings of non-compensatory relationships also indicated employees' eco-friendly best practices is the most determinant of the strategy of sustainability commitment, followed by authentic leadership, supportive leadership, and paternalistic leadership.

促进家族企业可持续发展承诺战略：SEM和ANFIS的多分析视角

本研究试图利用马来西亚家族企业员工环保实践的中介作用，了解领导风格对可持续承诺组织战略的影响。为了达到这一目的，采用双阶段结构方程建模（SEM）和神经模糊推理系统（ANFIS）对马来西亚家族企业的领导风格进行了分析。本研究通过结构化问卷收集了427名马来西亚家族企业员工的实证数据。结果表明，支持性、真实性和家长式的领导风格会影响组织的可持续性承诺战略。此外，员工的环保最佳实践充分中介了领导风格与可持续发展承诺组织战略之间的联系。非补偿性关系的调查结果还表明，员工的环保最佳实践是可持续发展承诺战略的最决定性因素，其次是真正的领导力、支持性领导力和家长式领导力。
