It explores how leadership behaviors shape the effectiveness of HR practices in driving sustainability across economic, environmental, and social dimensions, while also situating these outcomes within the broader context of regional development and spatial planning. By analyzing the role of banks as institutional actors, the research highlights their contribution to financial inclusion, community well-being, and balanced urbanrural growth. A stratified random sample of 500 banking associates from urban, semi-urban, and rural branches was surveyed using a structured questionnaire, and data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling with SPSS and AMOS. HR practices, including recruitment, onboarding, performance management, compensation, and employee engagement, were assessed alongside leadership behaviors such as decision-making, resource allocation, empowerment, and vision. The findings indicate that leadership has a significant impact on the positive effects of HR practices on sustainability outcomes. In particular, leading by example and effective resource allocation emerge as strong moderators that advance SDG 8 and SDG 12. The findings underscore that sustainable HR leadership integration in banking not only improves organizational outcomes but also contributes to regional development and planning agendas by reinforcing equitable growth and sustainability across diverse spatial contexts. This study also situates banking institutions within the field of geography, planning, and development by showing how HR-leadership interactions contribute to territorial equity, financial inclusion, and spatial planning objectives. By linking organizational practices to regional sustainability trajectories, the findings highlight banks as critical institutional actors in advancing balanced urbanrural development. 2025, Green Publication.
