Abstract

This study aims to explore the conceptual framework of the mediating role of Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) in the relationship between Knowledge Management (KM), Green Transformational Leadership (GTL), and Sustainable Performance (SP), adopting the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Transformational Leadership Theory. The methodology uses a structured conceptual framework, synthesizing literature from various relevant previous studies for the development and analysis of the conceptual model. The analysis results indicate that although KM and GTL have a direct influence on Sustainable Performance, empirical inconsistencies suggest the presence of unidentified mediating variables. It is proposed that PEB acts as the behavioral bridge that links knowledge and leadership to sustainability outcomes. The originality of this research lies in its emphasis on the integration of intellectual capital management and green leadership values, which have not been comprehensively examined together in this context. The practical implication of this research is the importance of designing organizational strategies that encourage knowledge sharing, environmental awareness, and employee engagement in green practices to strengthen sustainable performance.
