ABSTRACT This study addresses the gap in research on green knowledge management (GKM) by developing and validating scale metrics of GKM based on existing literature on knowledge management (KM) practices. It also aims to investigate the impact of GKM practices on employees' green work outcomes. Grounded on the theoretical conceptualization, data were collected using structured questionnaires to identify and assess GKM practices. First, a measurement instrument for GKM was statistically validated through confirmatory factor analysis. Next, SmartPLS was employed to examine the relationships between GKM practices and employee green work outcomes. The research identified seven dimensions of GKM practices: green knowledge acquisition, green knowledge creation, green knowledge sharing, green knowledge storage and documentation, and green knowledge approach and use. Our findings revealed a positive relationship between GKM practices and employee pro‐environmental behaviors. The study also highlighted the mediating role of environmental commitment in influencing this relationship. Operationalizing the concept of GKM, our research reveals the significance of these activities in promoting environmental awareness and sustainable behaviors among employees. By establishing a clear linkage between GKM actions and desired staff behaviors, organizations can leverage this framework to develop strategies for managing green knowledge and promoting a culture of environmental responsibility within their workforce. Finally, the research contributes to the emerging field of GKM by developing and validating key constructs, providing a foundational framework for future research in the GKM domain.
