Yeşil dönüştürücü liderlik, çalışanları çevresel sorumluluklar doğrultusunda motive eden ve örgütsel süreçleri sürdürülebilirlik ilkeleri çerçevesinde dönüştüren bir liderlik yaklaşımıdır. Bu bağlamda, insan kaynakları yönetimi süreçlerinin çevresel sürdürülebilirlik hedefleriyle uyumlu hale getirilmesini ifade eden Yeşil İnsan Kaynakları Yönetimi (Yeşil İKY), işletmelerin çevre dostu iş süreçlerini geliştirmesinde kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yeşil dönüştürücü liderliğin çalışanların işe adanma düzeyleri ve sürdürülebilir örgütsel performans üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiş, bu ilişkide yeşil insan kaynakları yönetiminin aracı rolü değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma, Trabzon Arsin Organize Sanayi Bölgesi'nde faaliyet gösteren KOBİ’ler bünyesindeki çalışanlar üzerinde yürütülmüştür. 396 kişinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilip, nicel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada, katılımcılardan anket yöntemiyle veri toplanmış ve veriler Smart-PLS uygulaması ile yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yapılarak analiz edilmiştir.

N2 - Today, businesses are adopting environmentally friendly business models to achieve their sustainability goals and, consequently, reshaping their leadership approaches. Green transformational leadership is a leadership approach that motivates employees towards environmental responsibilities and transforms organizational processes within the framework of sustainability principles. In this context, Green Human Resources Management (Green HRM), which refers to the alignment of human resources management processes with environmental sustainability goals, plays a critical role in helping businesses develop environmentally friendly business processes. This study examined the impact of green transformational leadership on employee engagement levels and sustainable organizational performance, and evaluated the mediating role of green human resources management in this relationship. The research was conducted on employees within SMEs operating in the Trabzon Arsin Organized Industrial Zone. This study employed quantitative research methods and included the participation of 396 participants. Data were collected from participants through a survey method and analyzed using structural equation modeling using the Smart-PLS application. According to the results, direct significant relationships were identified between green transformational leadership and both work engagement (β=0.419; p CR - Achmada, A.
