Abstract

As global warming intensifies, transformative action is increasingly essential, with the banking sector playing a crucial role in fostering sustainability. However, the Pakistani banking sector has yet to adopt green initiatives fully. This study, grounded in the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity theory, investigates how green HRM practices influence green employee behavior, with environmental managerial support as a moderating factor and the mediating roles of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. Employing a quantitative approach, data was collected from 385 respondents through surveys across six Islamic banking branches in Punjab (Pakistan). Data analysis was conducted via IBM SPSS statistics (version 26), using regression and process macro techniques. The findings reveal important insights into the relationships among these variables, addressing the previously unexplored mediating roles of well-being in this context. This research emphasizes the need for Pakistani Islamic banks to adopt green HRM practices as both a moral obligation and a strategic necessity for market sustainability. Additionally, the integration of green HRM practices enhances employee well-being and promotes green behavior, highlighting the importance of coordinated efforts between banks and managers to cultivate sustainable practices. Ultimately, this study offers valuable implications for enhancing the appeal of green banking initiatives within the Islamic banking sector.
