Impact of Green Intellectual Capital on Sustainable Green Banking: Empirical Evidence of Commercial Banks

Abstract

This research endeavors to evaluate the impact of green intellectual capital on sustainable green banking. A survey was administered to gather data from the employees of commercial banks in Sindh by using convenient sampling techniques, and data were subsequently analyzed using statistical software like SPSS. The validation of hypotheses was conducted using reliability tests, correlation analyses, and regression analyses. The study's findings reveal a positive direct impact of green intellectual capital on sustainable green banking. This suggests that banks should place a greater emphasis on leveraging green intellectual capital, including green human capital, green structural capital, and green relational capital, to enhance their ability to achieve sustainable green banking. Green human capital plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable green the banking. Therefore, it is imperative for banks to formulate transparent, unambiguous, straightforward, and universally communicated sustainability policies for their entire workforce. Furthermore, green structural capital serves as a significant predictor of sustainable green banking practices. Hence, banks should strive to enhance the adaptability of their organizational structures, reducing environmental waste, such as paper, and fostering a greater focus on eco-friendly activities.
