Abstract

This study examines the relationship between transformational leadership (TL), organizational culture (OC) and green innovative behaviours (GIB) in the mediation model. Collected data from 128 ASN Respondents of the Pariaman City Government who work across 28 regional apparatus organizations. The findings confirm the positive relationship of TL to OC and GIB. In other words, OC does not affect GIB, nor is it a mediator for TL relationships with GIB. The results provide valuable recommendations for government leadership and stakeholders.
