Abstract: In a quest to illuminate Kazakhstan’s economic horizon within a sustainable context, this study delved into the complex interplay of sustainable tech innovation, investment in sustainable infrastructure, and natural resource management. The study assesses the potential for green economy development by introducing the adoption of sustainable practices as the mediator and corporate social responsibility as the moderator in the examined relationships. We employed a cluster sampling technique, focusing on government sector employees in Kazakhstan. The choice of this sector stemmed from its pivotal role in shaping national policies. A time-lagged approach was incorporated, collecting data at two distinct time points to capture the dynamic evolution of green initiatives over time. As the data unfolded, sustainable tech innovation, investment in sustainable infrastructure, and natural resource management emerged as significant predictors for adopting environmentally responsible practices leading to green economy development. This development process, we found, was further augmented by the moderating influence of corporate social responsibility. Hence, our findings contribute both practical and theoretical insights to the discourse on sustainable economic development. In addressing the intricate interplay of technological, infrastructural, and resource-related factors, this study provides guidance for Kazakhstan’s ongoing transition towards a more sustainable and resilient economic trajectory.
