The study focuses on identifying Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) in influencing employee commitment with innovation capability as mediation and culture of innovation as moderation. The study aims to test and analyze the direct and mediation-moderation influence of GHRM on employee commitment and testing innovation capability as a mediator and culture of innovation as a moderator. This research contributes to organizations so that they can pay attention to the role of GHRM in increasing innovation capabilities and employee commitment and as actual literature on human resource management science. This research adopted a quantitative approach, utilizing questionnaires for data collection. These instruments were distributed to a sample of 250 employees within the plantation industry. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Path Analysis. The results shows that GHRM, consisting of green recruitment and selection, green training, and green involvement, has a direct and significant positive effect on innovation capability. Innovation capability has a significant positive effect on employee commitment. Meanwhile, innovation capability acts as a mediator in the relationship between GHRM and employee commitment, and culture of innovation has been shown to moderate the relationship between innovation capability and employee commitment. This implies that the company management needs to holistically instill sustainability principles in every HR function. Organizations are also advised to strengthen a culture of innovation by creating open discussion spaces, incentivizing green innovation, and adopting a leadership style that encourages learning and experimentation. This study contributes to the literature by integrating GHRM on employee commitment through innovation capability into a mediation model moderated by culture of innovation, offering theoretical insights and practical recommendations to enhance employee commitment in the plantation industry.
