This study has investigated and explored the influence of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on Environmental Performance (EP) under the mediating effect of Green Innovation (GI) and moderating effect of Environmental Strategy (ES). The study was drawn upon the basis of Social Identity (SI) theory and Natural-Resource Base View (N-RBV) theory. The nature of the study is quantitative. In this research study, the probability sampling technique straightforward random sampling technique is used; data were collected from 385 respondents of managerial and supervisory levels from textile manufacturing organizations in Pakistan. Smart PLS was used for data analysis and testing. The results indicate that GHRM positively and significantly affects EP. Likewise, this study indicates that GI mediates between GHRM and EP. ES has a positive and significant impact on moderating the relationship between GI and EP. The current research is useful for managers of textile manufacturing organizations and policymakers to operate green HRM, GI, and ES in investigating EP. It is also helpful to guide managers of textile organizations to reinforce internal resources such as GHRM, GI, and ES to enhance EP.
