Abstract
Objective: Green leadership, as a new management approach, emphasizes environmental protection and sustainable development in organizations and plays an important role in promoting social responsibility and improving organizational performance. The purpose of this research is to design a green leadership model in private companies and identify indicators that affect the success of this leadership style.
Research Methodology: The present study is descriptive-applied and conducted with a mixed approach. The statistical population includes managers and experts of private companies active in various fields, of which 27 people were selected as samples using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The validity and reliability of the tools were confirmed using standard methods. Data analysis was performed using statistical software and content analysis methods.
Findings: The research findings show that the organization's environmental approach and environmental strategies, as key areas of green leadership, provide a suitable platform for creating a green organizational culture and environmental empowerment. Also, dimensions of green leadership such as health-supportive leadership and human resource development play an important role in improving the well-being and health of employees. Ultimately, this structure leads to the promotion of organizational performance, social responsibility and social health sustainability, which can be a suitable guide for private company managers to develop green leadership and achieve sustainability goals.
