Abstract

Nowadays, sustainable performance (SP) has become an obligation of every organization globally, which captures the attention
of recent researchers and policymakers. Following the green theory, this study aims to examine the impact of corporate social
responsibilities (CSR), transactional and transformational leadership on the SP. Besides, examining the moderating role of sustainable entrepreneurship and mediating role of organizational
commitment among the nexus of CSR, transactional and transformational leadership, and SP is another target of this research.
This study adopted the questionnaires to collect the data from
the respondents of the internet services industry in China, and
structural equation modeling (SEM)was employed to analyze the
data. This research revealed that CSR, transactional, and transformational leadership have a positive effect on SP. Secondly, this
study also indicated that sustainable entrepreneurship significantly moderates among nexus of transactional and transformational leadership to SP. Besides, our results show that
organizational commitment positively mediates the links between
CSR, transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and the
SP. The conclusion of this research signifies that organizational
leadership strongly influences the adoption of green and sustainable operations, which further influences the SP. These results
help the regulation-making authorities make new policies related
to CSR, leadership, entrepreneurship, and SP.
