Abstract

This study examines the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) on sustainability performance in SMEs in Jiangxi Province, China. It shows how eco-friendly programs and landmarks can help reduce environmental footprints, energy consumption and waste. This study focuses on challenges such as limited resources and technological changes that SMEs face. Through quantitative analysis, including surveys and structured interviews, this study examines the impact of GHRM on employee performance, productivity and environmental performance. The findings show that GHRM increases organizational efficiency, reduces environmental impacts and supports long-term sustainability goals in the manufacturing sector.
