Abstract: The study aims to identify the impact of green human resource management practices on environmental performance, with mediating role of organisational citizenship behaviour towards environment and psychological green climate. In this study, the positivism philosophy is employed, which focused on constructing a hypothesis based on current theory employed. In this quantitative study, an online survey with questionnaires was used to collect information from samples by 384 hospital workers using a simple random sampling technique. The results of the structural model demonstrate that mediator psychological green climate is supported in this study, whereas the second mediator organisational citizenship behaviour towards environment has not been supported. Pakistan is a developing country, which is why the management of the health sector in the HRM department has a lack of facilities and is not yet established like in developed countries. In the current study, GHRM negatively affects OCBE because of the neglected practices of employees, which result in no effect on environmental performance. Psychological green climate is significantly positively associated with environmental performance. Furthermore, the psychological green climate has decidedly affected GHRM, showing that a steady psychological green climate will expand staff obligations to the association.

Keywords: green competences building practices; green motivation enhancing practices; green employee involvement practices; green work life balance; green teamwork; OCBE; psychological green climate; environmental performance.
