Abstract: The military’s ongoing efforts to protect the environment are clearly visible. The aim of this study is to bridge an empirical gap, i.e., there is no mediating effect of employee engagement on the relationship between green orientation and employee job performance in the Sri Lanka military context. Employee engagement is the employee’s head, heart and hand involvement in their job as well as their organization. Employee job performance is a main consequence of employee engagement. Because of this consequence, employee engagement has grabbed attention in both the business context and the military context. This quantitative study was achieved through objectives, namely, to identify the impact of green orientation on employee engagement, to identify the impact of employee engagement on employee job performance, and to identify the mediating effect of employee engagement on the relationship between green orientation and employee job performance. The unit of analysis is individual, i.e., officers in the Sri Lanka Navy. The sample size is 243. A cross-sectional study was done in a non-contrived environment with minimum researcher interference. Findings of this study suggest the direct relationship of green orientation and employee engagement, as well as the mediation effect of employee engagement on this relationship.
