Increasingly, manufacturing enterprises are compelled to pursue innovative solutions to environmental issues. Addressing such issues requires mindful leadership to support employees and organizations in maintaining awareness during complex situations, which then promotes environmental sustainability. Drawing on social information processing theory, this study theorizes and tests the relationships between mindful leadership, employee moral reflectiveness, environmental passion, and employee green creativity. To test the model, we utilize a two-wave multisource dataset comprising 215 workers from manufacturing firms in China. The findings demonstrate that mindful leadership has a positive relationship with employee green creativity. Additionally, our research reveals that both moral reflectiveness and environmental passion serve as mediators in linking mindful leadership to employee green creativity. Crucially, our empirical analysis suggests a serial mediation model, examining the sequential role of moral reflectiveness and environmental passion in the relationship between mindful leadership and employee green creativity. The findings provide a new viewpoint on employees' eco-friendly behaviors and have practical implications for improving environmental sustainability within organizations.
制造企业越来越被迫寻求解决环境问题的创新方案。解决此类问题需要有正念的领导来支持员工和组织在复杂情况下保持意识，进而促进环境可持续性。本研究借鉴社会信息加工理论，对正念领导、员工道德反思、环境热情和员工绿色创造力之间的关系进行理论构建和检验。为了检验该模型，我们使用了一个两阶段多源数据集，该数据集包含来自中国制造业企业的215名员工。研究结果表明，正念领导与员工绿色创造力呈正相关。此外，我们的研究还揭示，道德反思和环境热情在将正念领导与员工绿色创造力联系起来的过程中都起到了中介作用。至关重要的是，我们的实证分析提出了一个串行中介模型，考察了道德反思和环境热情在正念领导与员工绿色创造力关系中的顺序作用。这些发现为员工的环保行为提供了一个新的视角，并对提高组织内的环境可持续性具有实际意义。
