Abstract

Business sustainability is challenged by various barriers affecting the enterprise’ ability to ensure long-term economic viability, fostering resilience, and competitiveness. This study is a quantitative approach using descriptive-correlation and regression and conducted to determine the influence of green practices on business sustainability and the mediating role of a specific leadership style as well as the significance of their relationships in restaurant setting in Zamboanga City. There were 150 respondents from the various types of restaurants selected through purposive random sampling. The study found that the restaurants were implementing high levels of green practices and the longevity of the restaurant’s operations reflected business sustainability is present. The study also found a strong relationship between green practices, business sustainability, and leadership style. The study concludes that there is evidence of the mediating effect of leadership style in partial mediation between green practices and business sustainability indicating the positive impact of green practices on business sustainability is partly influenced by the adoption of a specific leadership style.
