Abstract: This study aims to explore the complex connection between green supply chain Management (GSCM) practices, relational efficiency, Job satisfaction, and operational efficiency, as well as the overall organizational performance of manufacturing companies. Utilizing a qualitative model as the basis of our study is essential for navigating this terrain. The present study used carefully designed questionnaires for collecting responses from operational-level managers and applied structural equation modeling (SEM) for inferential analysis, offering a detailed insight into the variables affecting organizational performance in GSCM. This study revealed a significant finding about the role of GSCM practices in connecting business performance and environmental responsibility, highlighting the vital link between sustainable business practices and organizational success. Manufacturing companies should acknowledge and manage the intricate relationship between internal and external aspects of GSCM to achieve smooth operational integration while reducing environmental impact. Our study emphasizes the importance of comprehensively analyzing the connection between GSCM practices and organizational performance. It highlights the need to address challenges to implement sustainable practices. By confronting these challenges directly, organizations can realize the complete capabilities of GSCM and strengthen their dedication to environmental responsibility. The research highlights obstacles and proposes a strategic management approach, providing a roadmap for effectively integrating GSCM into organizational structures. Understanding the relationship between business practices and their environmental impacts is crucial as we address climate change and environmental degradation worldwide. This study illuminates the mediating role of GSCM practices. It emphasizes the importance of manufacturing companies adopting a comprehensive approach to incorporating sustainability into their operational framework and promoting environmental resilience and organizational success.
