ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE THROUGH GREEN INITIATIVES IN OMAN'S MINISTRY OF EDUCATION: THE ROLE OF GREEN HIRING, GREEN TRAINING, AND GREEN INNOVATION

This study examines the impact of green human resource management practices in terms of green hiring and training on sustainable performance as measured by Triple Bottom Lines (TBLs) that is environmental, economic, and social performance.Furthermore, it explores the mediating role of green innovation in this relationship.The data was collected using a random sampling technique through a tailor-made questionnaire as part of the quantitative research design.315 questionnaires were collected via the Ministry of Education's correspondence system for this specific objective.The data has been analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS to examine the connections among green practices, green innovation, and sustainable performance.Findings show that both green hiring and green training have a significant influence on the Ministry of Education's sustainable performance.Moreover, the findings show substantial influence exerted by Green Innovation towards Sustainable Performance thus acting as an intervening variable between two independent variables that is Green Hiring and Training on Sustainable Performance for the Ministry of Education.By integrating such activities as recruitment and development processes based on eco-friendly approaches such as "green hiring" or "green training", organizations improve their likelihood of delivering sustainability-driven innovations.This paper is one of the few studies examining how these two facets affected sustainable performance in terms of mediation by green innovation.It has provided valuable insights to be used both academically and practically in line with the objectives outlined above.
