Abstract: Within the framework of the increasing demand to balance digital transformation and sustainable development in businesses, this study explores the impact of digital transformation (DT) on sustainable development performance (including environmental, social, and economic performance) with the synergistic effects of green human resource management (GHRM) and green supply chain management (GSCM). This study was centered on Chinese manufacturing firms and utilized partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine data from 450 companies. The findings of the research suggest that GHRM and GSCM serve as partial mediators in the correlation between DT and sustainable development performance. Furthermore, the synergistic effects between GHRM and GSCM are crucial in leveraging the advantages of DT to improve overall organizational performance. These discoveries not only add to the current understanding in the field but also offer practical advice for managers.
