| Abstract | ||||
| Through the comprehensive analysis of organizational success factors, scientific research established that the integration of environmental responsibility, as a pivotal component, in the operations of an organization is indispensable for achieving its goals. This research examines environmental leadership in Saudi government agencies and its impact on the green behavior of employees to foster environmental sustainability as well as the mediating role of environmental values in the relationship. Employing probability sampling methods, this study adopts standardized scales to collect data from 395 employees of government agencies in Riyadh. This study tests the reliability of the research model and hypotheses using structural equation modeling. Findings show the significant positive effect of environmental leadership on the green behavior (eco-initiatives, eco-civic-engagement, and eco-helping) and environmental values of the employees and the significant effect of environmental values on green behavior. Furthermore, the findings show the significant partial mediating role of environmental values in the relationship between environmental leadership and green behavior. This study discusses the research results and outlines the implications. | ||||
