Data were collected from 114 female employees through validated questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).<br>Findings – The results show that Glass Ceiling has a significant negative effect on Sustainable Career Development but does not directly influence Work Engagement. In contrast, Professional Self-Efficacy positively and significantly affects both Sustainable Career Development and Work Engagement. Furthermore, Sustainable Career Development is proven to mediate the effect of Professional Self-Efficacy on Work Engagement but does not mediate the effect of Glass Ceiling.<br>Novelty/value – This study contributes to the literature by examining the integrated influence of gender-based career barriers and psychological resources on Work Engagement in the public sector. Its novelty lies in positioning Sustainable Career Development as a mediating variable—an area rarely explored in studies involving female civil servants. The findings offer new insights into how organizational and personal factors jointly shape employee engagement in bureaucratic settings.</p> Hapsari Pradana Iswari, Mafizatun Nurhayati Copyright (c) 2025 Hapsari Pradana Iswari, Mafizatun Nurhayati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journal.adpebi.com/index.php/AIJB/article/view/1527 Sat, 13 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The Influence of Green Human Resource Management and Work-Life Balance on Environmental Performance Mediated by Green Innovation https://journal.adpebi.com/index.php/AIJB/article/view/1517 <p><strong>Purpose – </strong>This study aims to examine the influence of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) and Work-Life Balance (WLB) on Environmental Performance (EP), with Green Innovation (GI) as a mediating variable, within the context of a manufacturing company in Indonesia.</p> <p><strong>Methodology/approach –</strong> A quantitative approach using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 100 permanent employees of PT. Sankei Gohsyu Industries. The constructs were measured using validated indicators derived from prior studies.</p> <p><strong>Findings – </strong>The results reveal that GHRM has a significant positive effect on both EP and GI. WLB significantly influences EP but does not significantly affect GI. Additionally, GI does not significantly impact EP and fails to mediate the relationship between GHRM and EP, nor between WLB and EP. These findings suggest that while green HR practices and work-life balance are vital in enhancing environmental outcomes, green innovation alone may not yet serve as an effective mediating mechanism in this organizational setting.</p> <p><strong>Novelty/value –</strong> This research contributes to the growing body of literature on sustainable HRM by clarifying the distinct roles of green HR practices and work-life balance in fostering environmental performance. It also highlights the limited mediating role of green innovation in this relationship, providing practical implications for HR and environmental policy strategies in the manufacturing sector of emerging economies.</p> Heni Purwanti, Mafizatun Nurhayati Copyright (c) 2025 Heni Purwanti, Mafizatun Nurhayati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journal.adpebi.com/index.php/AIJB/article/view/1517 Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0700
