Abstract

This study aims to examine the integration of green leadership concepts within production and operations management practices, focusing on corporate operational sustainability. Utilizing a systematic literature review method, the study analyzes empirical findings and recent theories on the role of green leadership in driving green innovation as well as enhancing environmentally friendly operational efficiency and effectiveness. The review reveals that green leadership is more than a leadership style; it is a strategic approach combining environmental concern with sustainable human resource management and production processes. The implementation of green leadership fosters a green organizational culture that encourages active team participation, raises environmental awareness, and strengthens corporate commitment to sustainable operational practices. This integration has been proven to improve production performance while minimizing environmental and social impacts. The study contributes significantly to developing a conceptual framework linking production and operations management with green leadership principles as a foundation for long-term sustainability. These findings also open opportunities for further research exploring supporting factors and barriers in implementing green leadership across diverse industrial contexts.
