This study attempts to investigate how green HRM practices impact employee well-being at work and how green behavior is implemented by employees in Pakistani banking sectors using green business planning and green human resource management (GHRM). To promote environmentally conscious behavior among employees and facilitate sustainable development, GHRM places a strong emphasis on job satisfaction. Primary information was acquired for the quantitative study of thirty-one banking employees in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, using a printed questionnaire. The sample size is 383 which is calculated by Surveysystem.com calculator’s population size is three hundred thousand. The process of acquiring data involved the use of surveys and sampling as convenient methods. A cross-sectional survey approach was used in the study. Work satisfaction and green HRM practices have a favorable correlation, per this study. Furthermore, the outcomes support the hypothesis . Furthermore, the findings support the hypothesis that employee green behavior acts as a mediator between job satisfaction and green HRM practices. It is implied by the partial mediation that additional factors shaped the relationship. Creating a sustainable work culture is essential to increasing job satisfaction and staff dedication to the environment. Businesses should give employees the chance to engage in sustainable practices, promote open channels of communication for talking about environmental challenges, and reward collaboration and participation in sustainability initiatives.
