Abstract

Purpose - Drawing on insights from social exchange theory, this study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms linking green inclusive leadership (GIL) and green innovative work behavior (GIWB). Design/methodology/approach - The methodology uses partial least square structural equation modeling to analyze responses from 310 participants using SMARTPLS 4.1. Data were gathered from family-owned textile companies located in an emerging market. Findings - The empirical results confirm corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a mediator in the relationship between GIL and GIWB. The study also reveals that green self-efficacy (GSE) moderates the indirect impact of inclusive green leadership and GIWB through CSR. Originality/value - This study contributes valuable insights into environmental management within organizations through the theoretical lenses of social exchange and social identity theories. Contextually, it contributed by collecting unique data from family-owned textile mills located in developing economies. Finally, no previous study has examined the moderating role of GSE in an emerging market setting.
