Green human resource management practices in the presence of green servant leadership have become a prime business concern for sustainable growth. This study examines the mediating role of green HRM practices between green Servant leadership and sustainable firm performance, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Cross-sectional data were collected from 480 owners/human resource managers working in the manufacturing industry in Pakistan using a convenient sampling technique. A partial least squares approach was applied to test the hypothesized relationships. The research findings suggest that Green Servant leadership and Sustainable Firm Performance are mediated by Green Human Resource Management Practices (GHRM). This empirical study contributes to the literature by considering GHRM as a mediator using the theoretical lens of stakeholder theory and resource-based view.
