Abstract: In the workplace, green prospects are gaining much importance these days, although not much is known about the green intellectual capital and its contribution towards pro-environment behavior and outcomes. As the world experiences environmental concerns, it has become imperative for businesses to look into ways through which they can improve their environmental footprints. Hence, the current study examines the nexus between green intellectual capital’s effect on UAE Petroleum industry green innovation through environmental knowledge and learning orientation. The study also tested if environmental knowledge as mediate and learning orientation Moderate the association and examined the role of learning orientation as a moderator. Data were gathered from the ADNOC local employees in the United Arab Emirates and analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach via Smart PLS. The results show a significant association between green intellectual capital’s with green innovation; a strong association was also found between environmental knowledge and learning orientation and green innovation. The results also report a significant association between the three factors of green intellectual capital and environmental knowledge and learning orientation. The results found a mediating effect of learning orientation , whereas environmental concern only moderated the association between green intellectual capital’s and green innovation. The study presents prominent implications for theory and practice, followed by recommendations for future studies.
