Examining the Nexus of Green Finance, Sustainable Performance of Banks, and the Moderating Roles of Green HRM and Government Regulation

Green finance is one of the emerging solution to support the sustainability.Existing studies focused on examining the role of green finance on sustainable development on the national level while few examined its effect on the organizational level.Building on stakeholder theory, this study examines the effect of green finance on sustainable performance of banks in Jordan.The data was collected from top level employees in the banking sector.The findings showed that green lending and green investment have a positive effect on sustainable performance.Further, the findings showed that green HRM and government regulation moderated the effect of green lending on sustainable performance.No moderation was found between green investment and sustainable performance.Implementing more green lending and investment and improving the selection of individual with green mentality as well as enacting green regulation can improve the sustainable performance.
