The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between green transformational leadership on environmental citizenship behaviors concerning the mediating role of environmental beliefs and green policies. This study was applied in a descriptive and surveyed manner. The statistical population in this study is 212 employees of Shiraz Municipality who were selected by the available sampling method. To analyze the data, the partial least squares method and Smart PLS2 software were used. The findings indicate that measurement tools have good validity and Cronbach's alpha coefficient is more than 0.7 for all research structures. The results indicate that green transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on environmental citizenship behaviors. There is also a positive and significant effect between the variables of green transformational leadership and environmental beliefs and green policies. Environmental beliefs and green policies also have a positive and significant effect on environmental citizenship behaviors, but environmental beliefs and green policies play a mediating role between green transformational leadership and green citizenship behaviors.
