Abstract

This study examines the influence of Green Compensation and Rewards and Leadership Style on Employee Sustainable Performance, with Employee Engagement as a mediating variable. The research was conducted at Perum LPPNPI (AirNav Indonesia), a state-owned enterprise in air navigation services. A total of 103 functional employees were surveyed, selected from a population of 145 using the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) via SmartPLS. The results indicate that Green Compensation and Rewards and Leadership Style significantly affect Employee Sustainable Performance, both directly and indirectly through Employee Engagement. Employee Engagement thus plays a pivotal mediating role, reinforcing the link between green HR practices, leadership, and sustainable performance.
