Abstract

The concepts of environmental-specific and servant leadership (ESSL) and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) for the environment are recognized as pivotal in achieving environmental sustainability. This study aims to explore the interconnectedness between these two concepts. A comprehensive desktop integrative study was conducted, encompassing a thorough analysis of pertinent literature. This approach was augmented by comprehensive searches of reputable academic databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the research topic through high-quality, peer-reviewed articles and scholarly content. The findings strongly support the idea that ESSL plays a crucial role in cultivating a sustainable culture within organizations by empowering leaders to develop their teams' knowledge and skills in environmental sustainability. Such leadership fosters employee engagement in sustainable practices, enhancing overall environmental performance and promoting a sense of responsibility towards sustainable development. Recommendations emphasize the importance of fostering a supportive organizational culture where employees perceive their contributions to environmental goals as significant. Recognizing and rewarding exemplary environmental behaviours can further inspire others, embedding ESSL and OCB into organizational culture for holistic sustainability. This approach encourages a shared commitment to environmental stewardship, driving organizational change towards sustainable practices and positioning the company as a leader in environmental responsibility. Managerial implications highlight the role of ESSL in aligning sustainability goals with leadership practices, emphasizing stewardship and a service-oriented approach that prioritizes both employee welfare and environmental sustainability. Key Words:Environmental Sustainability, Environmental-Specific Servant Leadership, Organizational Citizen Behaviour for Environments
