Abstract: Drawing from servant leadership, organizational support, and conservation of resources theories, our paper tests a sequential model of green management innovation (GMI). Specifically, our paper assesses: (a) the effect of green servant leadership (GSL) on GMI; (b) perceived organizational support for the environment (OSE) as a mediator between GSL and GMI; (c) green knowledge sharing as a mediator of the link between GSL and GMI; and (d) perceived OSE and green knowledge sharing as the sequential mediators linking GSL to GMI. Data were collected in different service settings. The results from structural equation modeling reveal that perceived OSE and green knowledge sharing serially and completely mediate the effect of GSL on GMI. In an environment where there are GSL practices, employees have favorable perceptions of OSE and display green knowledge sharing behaviors to boost GMI. The authors discuss the aforesaid findings and offer implications for managers and future research.
