Implementing green HRM is expected to foster green innovation inside small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The promotion of a sustainable environment and the implementation of organizational procedures contribute to the advancement of green innovation and the cultivation of a culture of responsibility. The implementation of Green Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, the cultivation of eco-friendly behavior among employees, and the adoption of HRM strategies aimed at fostering a sustainable environment within the business. To the extent of our current understanding, previous research has not investigated the potential influence of green climate in enhancing the effects of Green HRM in environmentally friendly behaviors and the development of green innovations. The assessment of the collective impact of these variables on environmental performance within a comprehensive model has not been previously examined. Therefore, this study has added significance by assessing the mediating role of employees’ eco-friendly behavior between Green HRM practices and the organization’s environmental performance. This study has been conducted in the context of SMEs in Saudi Arabia by taking responses on a self-administered questionnaire from 371 respondents from SMEs in Saudi Arabia Selected through cluster sampling technique. Hence, the findings of this study affirm the significance of Green HRM and Green Innovation in driving environmental performance within SMEs in Saudi Arabia. The underpinning theory for the study model is the ability motivation and opportunity (AMO) model, which has been validated in the context of the present study. By taking these practical steps, SMEs in Saudi Arabia can proactively contribute to environmental sustainability while reaping the benefits of improved organizational performance. However, other cultural, demographic, and governmental factors need consideration in future research studies that should include these external factors for further implications.

The present study attempted to understand the nexus between Green HRM, Green Management to-wards explaining individual Green values. The study also attempted to test the moderation of green management on the relationship between Green HRM and individual Green values. A large private distribution business in Bahrain was chosen for the present study based on the recent initiatives towards green practices across the major work prospects. Results of the structural equation modelling from the non-managerial employees of the company indicated significant positive relationship be-tween green HRM and individual green values. Accordingly, the present study also reported significant relationship between Green Management and enhancement of individual green values. Importantly, the study also reported significant moderation of green management on the relationship between green HRM and individual green values. The study forwards implication for practitioners followed by the limitations and scope for future studies.

The objective of this study was to examine the role of green Human Resources Management (HRM) in the green supply chain (SC) and firm performance. The relationships between green HRM, green SC, lockdown, and firm performance were examined. In addition to this, the mediating role of green SC and the moderating role of lockdown was examined. The population of the study was based on the food industry of Bahrain and various companies were selected for data collection. Therefore, data were collected from the food supply companies in Bahrain. A questionnaire was used for data collection in which cluster sampling was applied. The findings of the study highlighted that green HRM has major importance for food supply companies. It has a positive role in promoting the performance of food supply companies in Bahrain. Furthermore, green SC also plays a vital contribution to the performance of food supply companies. However, COVID-19 has a negative role in firm performance. The situation of lockdown due to COVID-19 has a negative effect on the performance of these companies.
