The study aimed to examine the influence of GHRM practices on environmental sustainability. The study used the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theoretical framework to achieve this objective. The study adopted a quantitative approach for data collection and analysis, whereby 250 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to human resource managers of manufacturing firms. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the field data. Interestingly, the results of the study revealed that environmental sustainability is significantly and positively influenced by all of the selected GHRM practices, including green hiring, green training, and green performance management. This study contributes to the scientific body of knowledge by providing an explanation of the importance of management in attracting and retaining human resources who possess knowledge of eco-friendly practices. The study suggests that managers and policymakers in the manufacturing sector should prioritize and encourage the recruitment of a workforce with environmental awareness, introduce various green training programs to employees, and completely engage them in the implementation of sustainability practices.
