This article shall examine the drivers influencing employees’ green behaviour (EGB). This is important because understanding this process lets businesspeople choose the best ways to get employees to act in a green way. Parallel to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, everyone needs to do their part to encourage responsible production and usage. There are three leadership styles as determinants (ethical leadership, transformational leadership, and digital leadership) and employees’ green behavior included in the conceptual framework of the current study. The Social Cognitive Theory, proposed by Bandura in 1986 forms the basis of this study’s conceptual framework. To identify those relationships, a comprehensive examination of relevant literature and previous research is conducted. The findings indicate a favorable correlation between two leadership styles, namely ethical leadership, and transformational leadership, as exhibited by managers, and the adoption of EGB. There is no direct link between digital technology and EGB that has been shown in the previouse research. However, most studies found a link between digital leadership and the process of digital transformation, which then shows up in the setting of EGB. Therefore, this study provides an understanding of leadership styles of managers in fostering green behavior for both practitioners and researchers.
