Bridging the Gap: Exploring the Role of Green Transformational Leadership in Fostering Sustainability in the Islamic Banking Industry
Abstract/Description
This research explores the role of green transformational leadership (GTL) in promoting sustainability within the Islamic banking industry. Grounded in transformational and authentic leadership theories, the study investigates the relationships among GTL, green employee transformation (GTE), digital literacy, religiosity, and green human resource management (GHRM) practices. Drawing on insights from Pakistan's policy landscape for a green economy and the green initiatives within Islamic banking, the research addresses key challenges facing GTL adoption, such as shifting mindsets and skill gaps. A theoretical model is proposed to conceptualize the dynamic interactions among the variables, and hypotheses are formulated to guide empirical investigation. Through quantitative or qualitative methods, the study aims to empirically test the hypotheses, shedding light on the moderating role of digital literacy and religiosity, as well as the mediating role of GHRM. The findings hold implications for Islamic banks seeking to enhance their sustainability efforts through effective leadership, digital empowerment, and strategic HR practices. Ultimately, the research contributes to the advancement of knowledge in green leadership and sustainability management within the Islamic banking context, offering insights for practitioners, policymakers, and scholars alike.
