Purpose: The effect of Green Training and development on Green Job Performance (GJP) is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in sustainable organizational practices. This study aims to explore this relationship, contributing to the growing academic discourse on Green Job Performance and its linkage to key Human Resources (HR) functions—specifically, training and development. Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional, quantitative research design A structured survey was distributed to 200 employees across 10 Egyptian casting companies, all of which implement green strategies and initiatives. Findings: The study found that HR components—particularly training and development—play a significant role in embedding green performance practices. Organizations that strategically align their training and development efforts with sustainability goals are more likely to achieve successful green outcomes. Research limitations/implications: The findings are limited to the participating sample. Future research is recommended to adopt a longitudinal approach to examine the impact of training and development on green job performance over time. This would further clarify the role of HR in embedding sustainability practices across different organizational levels. Originality/Value: This study offers valuable insights into the emerging concept of Green Job Performance by empirically examining its connection with Green Training and Development. It contributes to the literature by highlighting the evolving role of HR in promoting environmental sustainability and proposing practical strategies for advancing green HR initiatives.
