The primary goals of this study are to analyze how green talent management affects the sustainable corporate performance of telecommunication companies in Jordan and to assess variations in strategy execution based on employees’ age, gender, qualifications, experience, and the organization’s size. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24, employing one-way ANOVA. The main result indicates that the hypothesized relationship between green talent management (GTM) and sustainable corporate performance (SCP) was found to be positive and meaningful. Therefore, it is concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between green talent management and corporate sustainability performance. The study's conclusions have essential ramifications for professionals and decision-makers in business who are creating standards for promoting green hard and soft TM in a telecommunications organization. Leaders and practitioners should consider instilling principles intrinsic to “green soft" rather than "green hard" to ensure that skills are sufficiently cultivated and preserved for promoting environmental sustainability in organizations like telecommunication corporations. The importance of green values and competencies among their employees must be fostered, supported, and acknowledged by Jordanian telecommunications companies.
