Abstract:
This study investigates the key factors influencing organizational sustainability in
the apparel industry, with a focus on Green Training, Green Rewards, and Green Employee
Performance Management. The research addresses a gap in the literature regarding the impact
of green HRM practices on sustainability outcomes in Sri Lanka's apparel sector. Drawing on
social learning theory and expectancy theory, the study explores the relationship between
these independent variables and organizational sustainability. Data were collected through a
structured questionnaire from 162 middle-level employees at the Koggala Export Processing
Zone. The reliability and validity of the instruments were confirmed, and data were analyzed
using correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal a significant
positive relationship between Green Training, Green Rewards, and Green Performance
Management with organizational sustainability. Specifically, Green Training showed a strong
positive impact on sustainability, followed by Green Rewards and Green Performance
Management. These results highlight the importance of integrating green HRM practices into
HR policies and organizational strategies. The study suggests that HR professionals and
apparel industry leaders can leverage these findings to enhance sustainability practices and
foster healthier, more secure work environments
