The data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 198 human resource personnel of manufacturing firms operating in the industrial area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The data were analyzed using the SPSS software package. The results indicated that there is a positive impact of green recruitment & selection on organization performance. Likewise, green pay & rewards and green involvement have positively predicted organization performance. on firm performance. However, green performance management recorded negative and green rewards have no impact on organization performance. The study has significant implications for academic and industrial practitioners regarding the implementation of green human resource management and organization performance. The study also fills the gap and provides social implications.
