Rapid economic growth puts the natural environment under tremendous pressure. As a traditional chemical company, it is important to reconsider outdated business development models, develop innovative green initiatives for long-term growth, and choose approaches to address environmental issues. Determining how to encourage employees' green performance while balancing environmental issues is crucial for chemical companies in the current social and economic environment. This study investigates the green transformational leadership style to enhance green performance of chemical company employees. It expands the field of environmental protection by employing two novel constructs: creative process engagement and green creativity. We collected 623 valid questionnaires from 98 teams (98 leaders and 525 employees) and used SPSS 26.0, HLM 6.0, and MPlus 8.3 to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that (1) green transformational leadership positively influences individual green performance, (2) creative process engagement and green creativity mediate the relationship between green transformational leadership and individual green performance, and (3) individual environmental awareness positively moderates the relationship between green transformational leadership and green creativity. These novel findings contribute to the environmental literature and help chemical company managers in enhancing employee innovation and performance.
快速的经济增长给自然环境带来了巨大压力。作为一家传统化工公司，重新审视过时的业务发展模式、开展创新的绿色举措以实现长期增长并选择应对环境问题的方法至关重要。在当前社会经济环境下，确定如何在平衡环境问题的同时鼓励员工的绿色绩效对于化工公司来说至关重要。本研究调查绿色变革型领导风格对化工公司员工绿色绩效的提升作用。它通过采用两个新颖的构念：创造性过程参与和绿色创造力，拓展了环境保护领域。我们从98个团队（98名领导者和525名员工）收集了623份有效问卷，并使用SPSS 26.0、HLM 6.0和MPlus 8.3来检验假设。研究结果表明：（1）绿色变革型领导对个人绿色绩效有积极影响；（2）创造性过程参与和绿色创造力在绿色变革型领导与个人绿色绩效之间起中介作用；（3）个人环境意识正向调节绿色变革型领导与绿色创造力之间的关系。这些新颖的研究结果为环境文献做出了贡献，并有助于化工公司经理提高员工的创新能力和绩效。
