Abstract: The prevailing research study described in this article is undertaken to investigate how a green transformational leadership style (GTFL) and green human resource management (GHRM) heighten the environmental performance (EP) of small- and medium-sized enterprises. It also focuses on accessing the mediating role of pro environmental behavior (PEB) between GTFL, GHRM, and the EP of the firms. Using a quantitative design of research, data for the study were collected from the small and medium enterprises of Lahore, Pakistan, with a self-administered survey questionnaire. SPSS and AMOS were used for analyzing the data. The various tests, such as structural equation modelling (SEM), correlation, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and bootstrapping, were performed to test the hypothesis. The analytical results revealed that GHRM and GTFL lead towards optimizing the EP of the firms. Moreover, the findings shed light on the roles of GHRM and GTFL to engage and motivate the employees for the organization’s ecological betterment by generating PEB in order to reach the EP of the firms. This study will be an extension of the existing body of knowledge by recognizing the predictors of GHRM and GTFL as substantial antecedents of the PEB of employees and the EP of the firms.
