This study investigates the impact of green transformational leadership (GTFL), green innovation (GI), and green human resource management (GHRM) practices on enhancing sustainable performance, emphasizing the mediating roles of GHRM and GI in the link between GTFL and sustainable outcomes (environmental, social, and economic) in the healthcare sector. Data were gathered through a survey distributed to healthcare organizations in Palestine, encompassing both secondary care facilities (hospitals) and tertiary care facilities (rehabilitation centers). The proposed relationships were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM). The findings underscore the critical role of GTFL, GHRM, and GI in advancing sustainable performance and confirm the mediating effects of GHRM practices and GI in achieving environmental and social sustainability goals. This research offers a comprehensive perspective on the key drivers of sustainable performance, providing valuable insights into the interconnected mechanisms that promote sustainable practices in healthcare organizations and guide organizational strategies.
This article investigates the critical sustainability challenges posed by Queensland's construction sector through developing a comprehensive circular economy implementation roadmap. Adopting a mixed‐method approach combining quantitative scientometric analysis of academic literature with qualitative systematic review of grey literature, the study bridges theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The findings identify key barriers to circular economy adoption in Queensland's construction industry across environmental, economic, social, and policy dimensions, while highlighting opportunities in deconstruction, material reuse, and waste valorization. The article's primary contribution is an evidence‐based policy roadmap addressing regulatory gaps through targeted incentives, mandates, and reforms. The resulting phased implementation roadmap outlines actionable short‐, medium‐, and long‐term strategies for industry transformation. By aligning Queensland's construction practices with international standards through innovative digital tools, market mechanisms, and multi‐stakeholder engagement, this study provides a practical blueprint for policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to advance circular construction practices and contribute to sustainable built environment outcomes.

This study investigates the mediating role of green innovation (GI) in the relationship between green human resource management (GHRM) practices and economic and social performance, while also examining the moderating influence of environmental strategy on the link between GI and performance outcomes within Palestinian healthcare organizations. A quantitative approach was employed using a structured survey, with data analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM)—a robust statistical method well‐suited for hypothesis testing in complex models. The findings confirm that GHRM practices and GI both directly and indirectly enhance economic and social performance. Notably, GI was identified as a key mechanism through which GHRM drives sustainable outcomes. However, the study found that environmental strategy does not exert a statistically significant moderating effect on the relationship between GI and performance in this context. These results underscore the critical role of GI in translating HR sustainability practices into tangible organizational benefits. This research contributes to the literature by clarifying the dynamics between GHRM, GI, and sustainable performance in a service sector that has received limited empirical attention—especially in developing and politically constrained contexts such as Palestine. The study offers theoretical insights into how strategic HR and innovation initiatives intersect to support sustainability and provides practical recommendations for healthcare managers and policymakers. In particular, it highlights the transformative potential of GHRM and GI for promoting economic and social sustainability in resource‐constrained environments, offering a valuable roadmap for other developing nations facing similar challenges.

This study evaluates Queensland's policies supporting circular economy practices in the building and construction industry. Through systematic review, it reveals that while current initiatives have improved construction waste recovery rates, policies focus primarily on recycling rather than higher-order circular practices like deconstruction and material reuse. The research identifies opportunities for policy reform and incentives to advance Queensland's transition to a circular economy in the built environment.
This study examines the impact of green transformational leadership, green human resource management, and pro‐environmental behavior on sustainable performance. Despite the increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability, the mechanisms through which organizational practices translate into sustainable outcomes remain insufficiently understood. Employing a mixed‐methods design, the study combines qualitative interviews with healthcare managers in Palestine and a quantitative survey analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that green transformational leadership has a direct positive effect on green human resource management, pro‐environmental behavior, and sustainable performance. Furthermore, green transformational leadership enhances sustainable performance indirectly through a sequential mediation process: it promotes green human resource management practices, which encourage pro‐environmental behavior, ultimately leading to improved sustainability outcomes. These results contribute to theory by demonstrating how leadership practices cascade through organizational systems to strengthen environmental performance, and they provide practical implications for advancing sustainability within the healthcare sector.

In recent years, the dual pressures of economic development and environmental degradation have intensified the need for organizations to adopt environmentally sustainable practices. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR), green knowledge management (GKM), and green innovation (GI) have become critical mechanisms for enhancing sustainable performance, particularly within healthcare organizations operating in Palestine. Accordingly, this study seeks to examine the roles of CSR and GKM in shaping sustainable performance through the mediating influence of GI. In addition, the study evaluates the moderating effect of top management commitment (TMC) on the relationship between GI and sustainable performance. The proposed relationships are empirically tested using data collected from 181 respondents representing governmental and non‐governmental healthcare organizations in Palestine. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) is employed to assess the structural model and examine the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that CSR and GKM exert both direct and indirect effects on sustainable performance through GI. Notably, TMC does not significantly moderate the relationship between GI and sustainable performance. This finding suggests that, in resource‐constrained healthcare settings, managerial commitment alone may not be sufficient to strengthen the performance benefits associated with GI. One possible explanation is that the influence of managerial commitment depends on complementary organizational conditions, such as available resources, implementation capacity, delegated authority, and performance‐monitoring systems. Theoretically, the study identifies GI as an important complementary pathway through which CSR and GKM are associated with sustainable performance while showing that the role of TMC may be context‐dependent. Practically, the findings indicate that healthcare managers should complement leadership commitment with concrete implementation mechanisms. Contextually, the study extends sustainability research to Palestinian healthcare organizations operating under substantial resource and institutional constraints.
