Abstract
This study examines the impact of green HRM on green competitive advantage, the mediating role of green innovation, and the moderating role of green knowledge sharing in SMEs in developing countries. The conceptual model was developed based on two related theories: resource-based view and ability motivation theories. The data was collected through a time-lag longitudinal online survey of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Two hundred twenty-three professionals contributed data based on their perspectives in this study. The findings of this study confirmed a partial mediation effect of green innovation between green HRM practice and green competitive advantages. Furthermore, the present study's analysis also suggested that a moderating role of green knowledge sharing is positive and significant for green HRM and competitive advantage. This study developed a new model with the help of two related theories: the resource-based view and ability motivation theories. Also, a new insight would be helpful to SMEs of top management for developing and implementing key strategies related to studies in the future.
