Driving Sustainable Organizational Performance: The Role of Green Human Resource Management, Knowledge Sharing, and Green Innovation in Punjab's Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), Knowledge Sharing, Green Innovation, and Sustainable Organizational Performance in the manufacturing industry of Punjab, Pakistan. With increasing competitive and environmental pressures, organizations are adopting sustainability practices. Sustainable Organizational Performance has become a key strategic priority, particularly through integrating sustainability into Human Resource Management systems. The research is based on a survey of 380 employees from manufacturing firms in Punjab, Pakistan. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The analysis reveals that GHRM has a significant positive impact on sustainable organizational performance. Knowledge Sharing partially mediates this relationship, while Green Innovation strengthens the effect of GHRM on performance outcomes. The study suggests that managers and policymakers should implement embedded, performance-based sustainability practices rather than relying on symbolic actions.
