Employees' green creativity is the basic input to organizational innovation capabilities, the prime focus of practitioners to stay competitive, and a mean to solve the society's sustainable issues in dynamic markets. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the nexus between authentic leadership, psychological environment, and employees' green creativity based on the theoretical lenses of social identity and social exchange theories that have rare application in these domains. Data were collected through questionnaires from 367 operational staff members of different technical training centers of renewable energy projects in Rawalpindi and Islamabad regions at Pakistan. The findings reveal that authentic leadership is a significant precursor of employee's green creativity and self-efficacy. In addition, self-efficacy mediates while the environment of trust and safety has non-mediating role in the relationship between authentic leadership and employee's green creativity. This work brings attention to the initiatives in technical training centers for renewable energy projects and contributes to the field of employees' green creativity in the context of authentic leadership and psychological environment based on the philosophy of social identity and social exchange theories.
员工的绿色创造力是组织创新能力的基本投入，是从业者保持竞争力的重点，也是在动态市场中解决社会可持续发展问题的手段。因此，本研究旨在基于社会认同和社会交换理论的理论视角，评估真实领导、心理环境与员工绿色创造力之间的关系，这些理论在这些领域的应用很少。研究数据通过问卷从巴基斯坦拉瓦尔品第和伊斯兰堡地区不同可再生能源项目技术培训中心的 367 名运营人员中收集。研究结果表明，真实领导是员工绿色创造力和自我效能感的重要前因。此外，自我效能感在真实领导与员工绿色创造力之间的关系中起中介作用，而信任和安全环境则不起中介作用。这项工作引起了人们对可再生能源项目技术培训中心的关注，并基于社会认同和社会交换理论的理念，为真实领导和心理环境背景下的员工绿色创造力领域做出了贡献。
