This study investigates the role of Green Human Resource Management in enhancing technology-enabled sustainability, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of technological capabilities and employee green behavior. Drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) framework, the study develops and empirically tests an integrated model. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 342 employees working in organizations across various sectors in Bangladesh, analyzed using SPSS 29. The results reveal that GHRM has a significant positive effect on technology-enabled sustainability, and that technological capabilities and employee green behavior significantly mediate this relationship.
