Sustainable development has emerged as a field of applied research across multi‐discipline. Sustainable leadership is a new domain of effective leadership, which has been established recently to cope with issues related to sustainable development. On the subject of natural resource‐based view (NRBV) and dynamic capability theory, this study examined methods of embedding sustainable leadership into sustainable performance and investigated the mediating effect of organizational learning to sustainable leadership and sustainable performance. The data in this study were collected from a total of 369 small and medium‐sized enterprises in Pakistan using a purposive sampling technique. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results revealed (a) a significant positive effect of sustainable leadership on organizational learning; (b) organizational learning significantly influences sustainable performance; (c) organizational learning partially mediates the relationship between sustainable leadership and sustainable performance. The present study offered an in‐depth theory of NRBV, dynamic capability, and sustainable development. Effective management advices are proposed for organizations encountering sustainable development challenges.

可持续发展：学习型组织中可持续领导力的颜色

可持续发展已经成为跨学科的应用研究领域。可持续领导力是有效领导力的新领域，最近已经建立起来以应对与可持续发展有关的问题。在基于自然资源的观点（NRBV）和动态能力理论的主题下，本研究研究了将可持续领导力嵌入可持续绩效的方法，并研究了组织学习对可持续领导力和可持续绩效的中介作用。本研究的数据是采用有针对性的抽样技术从巴基斯坦总共369家中小企业中收集的。使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模来分析数据。结果表明：（a）可持续领导力对组织学习有重大的积极影响；（b）组织学习对可持续绩效产生重大影响；（c）组织学习部分地调节了可持续领导力与可持续绩效之间的关系。本研究提供了NRBV，动态能力和可持续发展的深入理论。为面临可持续发展挑战的组织提出了有效的管理建议。
