Abstract: This article integrates conservation of resources theory to explore the impact of green leadership on the green behavior of employees. The data came from respondents from multiple industries in Pakistan. This study found that, as anticipated, green leadership has a positive impact on employee green behavior. Results also showed that green attitude significantly mediated the link between green leadership and employee green behavior in study 1; however, the role of emotional exhaustion was not significant. In study 2, green human resource management (GHRM) practice did not affect the direct link between green leadership and emotional exhaustion, nor did it affect the indirect link between green leadership and green behavior through emotional exhaustion. However, GHRM significantly moderated the mediation of green attitude. This article provides valuable insights for environmental researchers, managers, and policymakers to reform strategies to promote green behavior in the workplace.
