Analysing the Effect of Green Intellectual Capital On Environmental Growth: The Mediating Role of Green Training and Improvement

Abstract

This study examines the effect of GIC on environmental growth, with a particular focus on the mediating role of green training and improvement. By integrating intellectual capital theory and environmental management practices, the research explores how organizations leverage green knowledge, skills, and innovation to enhance sustainable development. Data was collected from 150 HR professionals, and Smart PLS software was used for data analysis. The findings confirm 12 key hypotheses, highlighting the positive impact of GIC on environmental growth through green training initiatives. The results further indicate that fostering green knowledge and skills significantly enhances an organization's environmental performance. This study underscores the importance of structured green training programs in bridging the gap between intellectual capital and sustainability. It's recommended that companies adopt a holistic and integrated approach to sustainability using simultaneously investing in green intellectual capital (GIC) and robust green training and development (GTD) packages.
