Abstract

The study investigates how Green Human Resource Management practices generate outcomes with transformational, sustainable and ethical leadership styles to create sustainable organizational performance alongside sector-wide innovation. Knowledge of how leadership and human resource practices help organizations achieve sustainability targets has become essential for global businesses. The research employed a quantitative approach to gather data from business professionals and staff workers from various sectors through standardized surveys. The study shows that sustainable and transformational leadership directly impacts the effectiveness of Green HRM practices that result in better organizational sustainability performance and generate innovation. Sustainable leadership showed the highest correlation with sustainability outcomes together with innovation because leaders who emphasize social and environmental long-term goals create positive organizational changes. Organizations require green HRM practices such as green recruitment and training in addition to employee engagement because these practices help organizations meet their sustainability goals. Organizations interested in sustainability integration need to combine strong leadership with complete Green HRM strategies according to the study results. The combination between leadership initiatives and HR practices used to develop sustainable environments results in superior competitive power and extended organizational success. Future analysis should verify the distinct functionalities within different sectors and study long-term performance shifts through implementation of these business practices.
