Authors: Ali Raza, Dr Kaleem Ullah Irfan, Waqas Khan, Dr. Sana-ur-Rehman

The study seeks to establish a connection between corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and job outcomes reflected in employees' happiness, creativity, and environmental performance in Pakistan's education sector while investigating Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) as a mediating role in creating the work environment. The study collected 399 data samples from the administrative staff of public and private educational institutes through a structured questionnaire survey strategy. The gathered data was analyzed by using the functionality of Smart PLS software. The findings of this study discover a direct and notable association between CSR initiatives and job-related outcomes, particularly in terms of employee happiness and creativity. The positive influences, in turn, contribute to an overall improvement in employee well-being and job satisfaction. Moreover, the research highlights the role of GHRM as a significant mediator, demonstrating that cooperation between CSR and GHRM can increase positive job-related outcomes. Theoretically, this study contributes to understanding how CSR actions extend beyond external perceptions and can affect internal stakeholders. It also adds to the growing body of knowledge around the interconnectedness of sustainable business practices, employee engagement, and organizational performance. The proposed mediating role of GHRM could offer insights into the mechanisms through which CSR practices translate into improved employee outcomes. This study holds significant implications for Pakistan's education sector organizations.
