Abstract: In light of the increasing recognition among modern business communities regarding the importance of implementing environmentally sustainable practices, this study thoroughly examines the concept of green recruitment (GR) and its subsequent impact on organizational sustainability performance (OSP). Situated within the shift from conventional to contemporary organizational frameworks that prioritize capacity, this study emphasizes the crucial importance of integrating sustainability into recruitment processes. This alignment ensures that human resource practices are in line with both environmental and organizational goals. The primary purpose emerges as a thorough examination and identification of sixteen critical factors that intersect GR and OSP, using insights from both the current literature and expert viewpoints, so this fills a crucial gap in the existing research. This study utilizes an integrated ISM-DEMATEL strategy to systematically reveal the hierarchical and relational patterns that are inherent in the connections between GR and OSP variables. This technique allows for a thorough comprehension of how these variables interact with each other. The findings highlight several important variables, emphasizing the complex network of interdependencies among the elements studied. The suggested model in this research encapsulates its originality, as it not only sheds light on the interdependent interactions for policy- and decision-makers but also establishes a foundation for future research in this field.
