Abstract

This study aimed to examine the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on Organizational Health in the Jordanian Free and Development Zones Group, while testing the mediating role of Competitive Advantage in this relationship. A research model was developed based on three main variables: GHRM practices as an independent variable, Competitive Advantage as a mediating variable, and Organizational Health as a dependent variable. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 220 employees, and 185 valid responses were obtained with a response rate of 84.1%. The results showed a significant positive direct effect of GHRM practices on Competitive Advantage, as well as a significant positive direct effect of Competitive Advantage on Organizational Health. The findings also revealed a significant direct effect of GHRM practices on Organizational Health, along with a significant indirect effect through the mediating role of Competitive Advantage.
