The strong global trend towards sustainable governance, using sustainable public administration, has created a demand for integrated governance that enables institutional systems to connect with the aims of sustainability. This study explores the Sustainable Leadership's influence on Sustainable Outcomes via the mediation of the governance mechanisms of Sustainable Public Engagement, Cross-Sectional Coordination, Green Budgeting, and Institutional Capacity in the context of Green Public Administration. Based on Ecological Modernization Theory and New Public Governance, the paper suggests a governance structure to provide an explanation of the relationship between institutional transformation and participatory governance in the promotion of environmental and administrative governance. The research design used a quantitative approach, a cross-sectional analysis technique, which was followed by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The framework was tested for reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, model fit, and mediation analyses. The findings reveal that Sustainable Leadership significantly influences Public Engagement (β = 0.725, p = 0.000), Cross-Sectional Coordination (β = 0.845, p = 0.000), Green Budgeting (β = 0.811, p = 0.000), and Institutional Capacity (β = 0.820, p = 0.000). In addition, there are significant direct effects of Public Engagement (β = 0.448, p = 0.000) and Institutional Capacity (β = 0.377, p = 0.000) on Sustainable Outcomes and insignificant direct effects of Cross-Sectional Coordination and Green Budgeting. Theoretically, the study contributes by building on Green Public Administration literature with three dimensions of governance: leadership, institutional effectiveness, and participative governance. From a practical perspective, the results have relevance for policymakers who are interested in pushing for administrative reforms and/or changes in institutional mechanisms that can assist them in achieving sustainable environmental governance in the long term.

The present study examines the effectiveness of the public policy in the context of digitally unequal environments and its impact on human rights protection in the framework of the Center-Periphery Theory and the role of AI-driven learning societies. AI's swift penetration into the field of education, governance, and public administration has raised several issues and concerns, such as digital inequality, algorithmic bias, accessibility, and social exclusion, especially in developing societies where technological resources are not equally available across various regions. This study aims to analyze the relationships between AI Accessibility, Digital Inequality, AI Governance, Public Policy Effectiveness, Human Rights Protection, and the moderating effect of an Inclusive AI-Driven Learning Society. This study was quantitative with a cross-sectional research design engaged with structured questionnaires given to digitally active respondents, such as students, teachers, policy makers, and researchers. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data in SPSS and SmartPLS to test the hypotheses presented and investigate direct relationships and moderating relationships. The results showed that AI Accessibility (β = 0.379, p = 0.000) and Digital Inequality (β = 0.385, p = 0.000) had a significant relationship with Public Policy Effectiveness, and Public Policy Effectiveness had a strong relationship with Human Rights Protection (β = 0.436, p = 0.000). The moderation effect of Inclusive AI-Driven Learning Society, however, was not statistically significant (β = -0.020 and p = 0.339). On the theoretical side, the study extends the Center-Periphery Theory to the realm of AI governance studies, while on the practical side, it draws attention to the need for inclusive policy frameworks, digital accessibility, and ethical governance of AI in the context of socially sustainable digital transformation and protection of human rights in AI-informed societies.
