Abstract: The issue of organizational sustainability is pivotal in the hospitality industry in the face of increasing environmental and societal pressures. This research investigates the mediating roles of green knowledge sharing (GKS) and green employee voice (GEV) on talent management (TM) strategic contribution to strengthen organizational sustainability (OS). Based on the Social Exchange Theory, TM is conceptualized as the consequence of employee engagement in sustainability behaviors in relational processes. the data were collected from 268 employees working at five-star hotels in the Eastern Region, Saudi Arabia. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to evaluate the hypotheses. The results indicate that TM has direct positive influence on OS, GKS, and GEV, which determines its central position in development of environmentally friendly workforce. GEV and GKS also have direct influences on OS, and therefore marketplace advocacy and knowledge exchange are essential to embedding sustainable practices. Mediation analyses show GKS and GEV can partially mediate the TM and OS relationship, proving that the impact TM has on sustainability is further facilitated by the green sharing of knowledge and proactive voice by the employees. Both theoretical and practical implications for both academics and practitioners have been addressed.
