While corporate social responsibility and knowledge of the environment plays mediation role in enhancing green HRM practices and intervenes the relationship between employee green behaviors. All of the hypotheses were supported. The study's conclusions have policy implications for HEIs, highlighting the necessity of institutional policies that support GHRM practices, environmental education, and CSR initiatives to encourage sustainable behaviors among staff members.The outcomes of this research will extend the knowledge about GHRM and employee behaviour as well as to the creation of focused strategies that HEIs and other organisations may use to promote a sustainable culture.
