Abstract
The global need to preserve ecology has propelled the green movement across the globe. An emerging managerial challenge for all organizations is to protect natural resources by reducing their negative impact on the environment and increase sustainable performance. Greening is the need of the age to conserve natural resources. This study investigates the impact of green human resource management practice—i.e., green hiring—on the sustainable performance of public and private healthcare organizations. A quantitative research approach was used for data collection. Scale survey of 160 responses was gathered from public and private healthcare organizations. Partial least square–structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The study results suggest that green recruitment has a positive and significant impact on environmental performance, economic performance, and social performance. Path coefficients test also revealed that green performance management and compensation significantly mediate the relationship between green hiring and sustainable performance of public and private healthcare organizations. This study is helpful for organizations in adapting GHRM practices that will benefit the organizations in all ways. This study also provides a better understanding to policymakers on how to promote GHRM practices and increase sustainability in organizations.

Working to preserve the environment, protecting resources, and reducing exploitation of natural reserves is critical for today’s world. The green movement across the globe has given rise to the concept of ‘green human resource management’ (GHRM) practices. Exploitation, and deterioration of natural resources harm the greening of the organization [1]. Issues like global warming, hiking levels of pollution, carbon profiles, climatic changes, flooding, extinction, and endangering of species make it obligatory for all the sectors of the economy to put in efforts to preserve the environment and work for the welfare of society [2]. The constant warning from scientists and environmentalists regarding the ecological conditions had created a serious situation for industries and 4.0/).
