The rising global idea of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has brought environmental management much-needed attention in the fight against climate change. A significant factor in guaranteeing efficient environmental management (EM) in enterprises has been the increased awareness of environmental sustainability. In Malaysia's manufacturing sector, this study aims to evaluate the application and impact of GHRM practices. The influence of these green performances within the organizations is also explored. In order to methodically examine the degree to which GHRM concepts have been implemented throughout industrial businesses, this study uses a thorough survey that is distributed among employees. There's also an investigation of the relationship between these methods' integration and improved environmental performance in these companies. The results highlight the value of incorporating sustainable strategies into human resources policies and procedures by showing a strong association between the adoption of GHRM practices and Employee green behaviour in organizational green performance. This study offers a model for other firms to follow and advances knowledge of the strategic significance of human resources in the accomplishment of environmental goals.
