Introduction
First, the problem of the research
Organizations must take a proactive approach in the workplace that includes achieving environmental goals and adopting policies because the first has gone beyond their proactive responses to environmental issues, which only involved preventing pollution and reducing environmental damage. Instead, it came as a modern strategy to achieve integration between the organization's goals and environmental goals with the exacerbation of environmental problems that affect humanity in all aspects of life. and green practices in various aspects, so the integration of environmentally friendly concerns in the strategy of organizations has become an obligation on organizations to reduce the harmful effects of their activities, as organizations usually need to promote environmental sustainability and deal with it to reach a distinguished position in the business environment, which pushes organizations to look for everything new The direction of the environment and its sustainability As it is imposing on the business environment at the present time the need to preserve and sustain human resources to face and preserve those environmental challenges, as the key to the successful implementation of the idea of the success of organizations and their brilliance in the presence of efficient and enthusiastic human resources to preserve the environment and deal according to the requirements of the clean environment, so he identified the importance of integrating environmental management and human resources management practices. Green human resources management may be regarded as green, and their presence in an organization improves performance and is crucial since it influences the organization's capacity to join the ranks of prestigious and successful organizations. One of the foundations that relies on the use of a set of criteria that aid in creating organizational brilliance, which aims to increase efficacy and efficiency in a manner that advances the objectives of the environment and the organization jointly.
From the above, the problem of the study can be clarified by asking the following main question: Does the achievement of organizational brilliance come through green human resource management , and from this the research questions of the research problem start two agencies:
3. What kind of connection exists in the sector under study between organizational genius and green HRS management?

Theoretical Framework
Green Human Resources Management
First: The Concept of Green Human Resource Management
In a highly competitive world, the success of any organization no longer depends on its strong financial position or the generation of groundbreaking innovations, but in most cases, it has become dependent on the human resources it possesses, the extent to which it is able to face environmental challenges and problems, and the scarcity of its environmental resources and resources .
Since the environment is deteriorating globally as a result of the industrial revolution, businesses must take a proactive approach to environmental management practices in the workplace because it is crucial that businesses feel accountable to both the environment and their financial objectives. This environmental orientation encourages businesses to implement green policies and create eco-friendly products. In order to demonstrate the connection between environmental management and human resource management, the business must implement a formal environmental management system .
The term "green practices" has emerged which refers to environmentally responsible actions that minimize the harmful effects of human activity on the environment .and modern management theories have come to integrate environmental goals and strategies into human resource strategies in order to create an effective environmental management system, and thus human resource management has been the main element In this system, the most valuable resource of the organization is its individuals . The need for organizations to adopt formal environmental strategies and organizations that inspire and empower workers and enhance their environmental awareness of the green transition came in order to implement green management initiatives, in addition to developing environmental standards, as the success of organizations in achieving environmental performance depends on its ability to change its course and restructure it strategically in the face of escalating competition and ever-changing environmental conditions .
The concept of green human resources management began with green planning for human resources before setting the criteria for selecting employees, as the green human resources management is not limited to attracting and retaining a sufficient number of candidates, but also includes ensuring that these candidates possess the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes To contribute to the achievement of the organization's environmental sustainability goals .
By integrating green environmental into their human resource management practices, organizations can create a competitive advantage, enhance their reputation and position, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Social responsibility, in addition to increasing employee engagement and productivity .
From this brief presentation, a set of concepts related to green human resource management, as mentioned by a number of researchers and writers in this field, as shown in Table (2).
Table (2) illustrates the concepts of green human resource management according to the opinions of researchers and writers
Source: Prepared by the researcher based on the above sources
Through the above concepts, the researcher can include a definition of green human resource management as the policies, practices, and systems that make the human resource of an organization environmentally friendly while creating green human resources capable of appreciating and understanding green initiatives with the aim of maintaining green goals such as improving social and economic well-being along with awareness of environmental concern.
Second: The Importance of Green Human Resources Management
The importance of implementing green human resource management comes from being a management toengage employees in green practices, as it is essential to its success by providing clear guidelines and expectations for performance, providing training and education, providing incentives for sustainable behavior, and enabling organizations to build a green culture that benefits the environment and the organization as a whole.
Engaging workers in green management initiatives by providing opportunities for their participation in green practice decision-making processes enables them to address broader issues such as waste reduction, the use of environmentally friendly products, and the implementation of energy-efficient policies .
Human resource management practices also enhance the human capital of an organization by increasing human capabilities that translate into performance results, such as increasing productivity, reducing waste, improving quality, and increasing profits, and according to the theory of human resource management, green human resource management works by increasing the capacity of employees by attracting and developing high-performing workers. Enhancing employee motivation and commitment through practices such as conditional green rewards and effective performance management .
Green HRM practices contribute positively to enhancing the economic and social performance of organizations, along with tangible benefits such as improved efficiency, cost reduction, employee engagement , and retention leading to improved productivity, and these benefits enable organizations to reduce the carbon footprint of workers, improve work-life balance, and preserve the environment and natural resources In addition, it helps organizations to reduce environmental waste and promote environmental behavior, and it also helps to develop customer loyalty , increase the market and boost the organization's competitiveness, which results in the development of a sustainable green competitive advantage. Green human resources also assist firms in establishing a favorable reputation and image. In addition to safeguarding proactive green HRM practices for employees in their current positions, it also guarantees the creation of new jobs by successfully resolving and lowering stakeholder pressures and attaining long-term advantages for future generations..
.showed that green human resource management practices also contribute to the social performance of the organization by enhancing the well-being of employees through various measures, such as promoting and providing them with support programs, and encouraging more education and training.
Green HR management also contributes to the development of organizational sustainability, greenHR practices reduce paperwork, encourage digitization of documentation, e-recruitment, and the provision of energy-efficient office spaces, increasing awareness of environmental protection, and thanks to its ability to meet environmental needs, while at the same time enabling organizations to achieve a win-win situation, Green HRM has attracted significant attention from professionals, giving them a sustainable competitive advantage over their competitors .
Third: Dimensions of Green Human Resources Management
Green HRM has the ability to measure and impact the behaviors , attitudes, knowledge, and motivations of employees related to the environment, and therefore organizations can benefit from green HRM to effectively deliver and implement environmentally friendly practices and to promote environmental behaviors, as the commitment of management and the organization's support for green HRM practices is essential As it aims to promote the environmentally friendly use of resources, which will enhance the issue of environmental performance in general and increase the awareness and commitment of workers to environmental management issues in particular, and after reviewing the literature on green human resource management, green human resource management practices will be adopted according to researchers in this field.
Practical tools should be used to select applicants for jobs with green values in accordance with the organization's predetermined selection criteria, according to . which explains that the selection process for candidates who have a good awareness of the environmental aspects and have a positive attitude towards adopting constructive change and making sure the green selection process is suitable for the applicant During the interview, the interviewer will research the candidate, learn about environmental issues, and pose environmental-related questions.
.also indicated that a good understanding of green principles by those in charge of the selection process is reflected in the selection of candidates who show positive personality traits that interact with the green environment and achieve a degree of readiness to accept any changes that the organization makes towards its green environment. We conclude that the human resource management that deals with green selection and recruitment aims to develop workers who adopt principles, beliefs and ethics towards the environment specific to the organization, which leads to the promotion of more responsible green behaviors towards the environment and related to work and the appreciation of employees, andto facilitate the pursuit of the environmental goals of the organization and the use of environmentally friendly means of employment, such as online advertising, and the assessment of environmental attitudes at the time of selection. to select the candidate.
activities related to environmental management. Green feedback and Balanced Performance Indicators as well as clear criteria Systems The new approach focuses on the crucial areas of green performance reporting (=Feedback); balanced performance indicators, and adequate evaluation standardization job. Evaluation method for green performance management may be different in accordance with organization system, and it is necessary to utilize unified evaluation standard so as not to judge environment arbitrarily and differently.
Thus organizations need clearly defined and assessed suitable methods for green performance management from the implementation and evaluation aspects. This is only possible by installing green performance indicators, which propose common ecostandards for all employees whose appraisal processes must take into consideration. These could include environmental incident avoidance, environmental liability and reduction of gas and chemical waste releases. Setting out clear targets likewise presents a crucial piece of the puzzle, and communicating wisely about environment policies and environmental concerns is just as important en element. Consequently, the need to embrace a standard framework of green performance management is held by various organizations to ensure that the objectives pertaining to environment are uniform, quantifiable and attainable.
Effective employee recruiting occurs only when employers do the `right' kind of training. Thus, a comprehensive training needs analysis is a necessary step before introducing training programmes. Green training is designed to increase the knowledge and skills of staff to facilitate implementation of environmental management in the workplace. As a result, all employees need to receive training that emphasizes green practices, even if their roles don’t directly relate to environmentally-based tasks. These training schemes must specifically incorporate energy efficiency, waste management and the promotion of green skills. Additionally, organisations are recommended to implement job rotation schemes to enlarge environmental understanding of the employees. Green training and development revolves mainly around three dimensions which are the environmental management, green conviction and related ecological protection activities all contribute to enhanced overall performance .
Therefore , the performance of employees can be improved once they fully participate in the green training and development programs on the green initiatives of the organization, as the management of the organizations should welcome the green training and development initiatives and the green proposals submitted by the workers within the training programs and ensure effective participation during meetings and training processes. Workers in the Green Vision guide well-defined workers both towards the environment and the organization, and how to deal with various environmental issues to keep workers engaged in the environmental aspects.
Green reward and incentive systemS The green inducement systems are critical in the GHKRM, because it denotes one of the most powerful device of shaping up individual behaviors, future orientations and prevailing attitudes concerning environmental responsibility. These are the systems that create a win-win for companies and workers. Green benefits can come in many forms, from the promotion of employees' participation in environmental projects or campaigns (e.g. 'green teams' or 'problem solving'-teams). The employees are informed of such participation to motivate them in QI activities and environmental issues in production. Furthermore, linking employees to organizational resources and including opportunities for green decision-making will make them embrace and implement the ecologically friendly behavior. As highlighted by .these methodologies improve communication between senior management and employees about organ- izational green objectives and empower the latter to pursue them.
Conclusion From the above discussion it can be determined that green HRM is not strictly concerned with recruiting, training and retaining the environmentally employees. It also includes the creation of ritualized greening culture. And it contributes to a safe and healthy working environment that is good for its employees. If environmental responsibility is integrated with the organizational culture, employees exhibit more concern for the environment and they show a proactive and innovative behavior. Given this, the top management must emphasize environmental thinking in organizational goals and practices, communicate with employees constantly through a series of programs to monitor and assess green performance. Regularly feeding back to employees on their environmental performance, and addressing shortfalls and providing employees with the autonomy they need to make changes apropriate to our organisation can all serve to greatly improve engagement and motivation.
Organizational brilliance
First: The Concept of Organizational Brilliance
Today„s businesses are confronted with various challenges due to constantly changing and fast evolving business environment. These obstacles could pose a threat to the survival, success and existence of the organisation. To tackle this effectively, organizations need to employ unequivocal initiatives and new ways of working. Businesses therefore constantly look for new ways to improve their performance and remain competitive in the long run. In such a setting, encouragement from management is important in order to bring about innovative ideas and constructive suggestions that can be instrumental in overcoming competitors and attaining an organizational level of excellence, which has emerged as an ultimate goal for many business organizations.
The idea of brilliance has been evaluated by psychologists within the framework of subjective well-being. In terms of cognitive aspects, subjective well-being is associated with life and job satisfaction, while from the emotional viewpoint, it implies presence of positive emotions and absence of negative emotions. Mental well-being highlight that being able to work is an important condition of fulfilling and meaningful lives, given that value lies in the self-realization and development of one’s potential. The performance of employees and their emotions are consequently closely related to how they work. When one’s job is beingdone well it could create happy feeling among employee butan unbalanceand dissatisfaction would typicallyresult in negativeemotionallyactivenessof thelifeitself. This interaction spotlights the intersections of emotional and psychological health, positivity in feelings, and job performance. For example, productive and meaningful work is associated with higher employee brilliance, where wellness of mind appears to be a pre-requisite .
The different between excellence and genius is the words that they use. Excellence focuses mainly on process management and continual improvement, while brilliance is focused on the resources, capabilities, and knowledge management of an organisation that is difficult for competitors to replicate in achieving organisational objectives . . suggested that what leads to organizational brilliance is the active involvement of employees at all levels of a company and the consideration of their ideas and viewpoints in decision-making. This kind of participation allows firms to obtain sustainable competitive advantage and outperform their followers by employing new opportunities efficiently. On the other hand, when employees aren’t engaged and enabled, opportunities are wasted, investments are stifled, sales decline and customers’ needs aren’t met. Thus, achieving organizational excellence involves considerable efforts in improving work methods and service processes which create the conditions for developing human resources that perform better than their competitors.
In addition, and according to Zrar and . the organizational greatness distinction takes place among organizations that operate in markets of competition (within which they have products and services of superiority, work approaches as creative form of being productive, revolutionary members or elements capable of generating social remainingness). Dedication to organizational excellence enables companies to develop powerful and long-lasting connections with their customers. A majority would like to attain such brilliance through creation of a flexible human capital so that the delivered product or service surpasses not only internal customers’ expectations but also those of their external clients, and addresses their wants and desires. This reiterates the importance of organizational genius in accelerating organizational development and advancement. Brilliance in innovation is about the best and brightest employees, a culture that empowers them, lifelong learning, great partnerships .
. From what has been proposed, a number of concepts related to the concept of organizational brilliance can be included, which has been brought by a number of researchers and writers, each according to their cognitive orientations, and Table (3) clarifies the concepts of organizational brilliance.
Table (3) Concepts of Organizational Brilliance for Some Researchers and Writers
Source: Table prepared by the researcher
The concept of organizational brilliance can be included as a degree of perfection and excellence achieved by employees as a result of the characteristics and abilities they employed in their performance, which distinguished organizations from others by their high resources, capabilities and abilities that were directed in providing distinguished service to customers.
Second: The Importance of Organizational Brilliance
Brilliant on the Basics is what makes organizations successful at achieving their strategies and enhancing their competitive positions. On one hand, it fosters innovation; on the other, it increases an organization’s adaptability to ever-evolving and increasingly competitive business environment. And, there's an added strategic advantage in that organizational excellence offers enormous benefit when it comes to dealing market challenges by enhancing the organization’s capacity to serve customers today and into the future. To survive in the long run, and feed off competitive advantage, companies need to develop unique models and practices that are hard for competitors to copy. As important is the culture of caring about customers, which enables companies to make promises and build long-term loyalty and attachment to an organization. The importance of organizational excellence is, therefore, the creation of loyal internal and external customers who in turn will motivate individual to invest their whole effort and capability into job with increased commitment. These factors ultimately contribute to the success and growth of an organization and help build its capacity for rapid adaptation in a fierce sector. Therefore, organisational excellence escalates the competition between organisations .
Furthermore, . that organizational genius leads to the attainment of organisational happiness for employees as a result of continued success and progress in a business environment. Furthermore, it contributes to organizational survivability and quality product and services are also provided to customers which ultimately can result in winning many awards at the international level. The role of the organisational excellence is closely related to the concept of exceptional performance, resulting into high level performances that bring about directly and in an explicit way towards achieving the organisational brilliant aspect. This relationship is beneficial for the organization and employees as it aids in recognition and development of organizational talent, as well as stimulating creative thought beyond today’s norms. We will apply organizational genius to competition by innovating, reducing opposition to organization change with better supervision and ensuring more profit for the organization through better use of human and material resources.
The prominence of Organizational excellence for various local and international companies has become clear with applying creativity in a variety of technical and managerial domains. The European Foundation for Quality Management says shining or star organizations are those that sustain their sustainability using strong performance processes¦meeting the satisfaction of key stakeholders beyond what they demand .
Therefore, excellence in organization is a specific organizational phenomenon whose significance appears when we work on the construction of an eminently long-term vision common to organization and members. It is a key component of organizational brilliance to ensure continuous employee personal and organizational well-being sustained by continuous success and achievement of professional development as well as sustainability of company itself. Moreover, it helps improve product and service quality to customers. Indeed, for all this internal, organizational and social capital it turns out that successful organizations also receive recognition and accolades at the local, national and international level.
Third: Dimensions of Organizational Brilliance
Organization’s Intrinsic Value As Dave pointed out, all the value an organization has comes from its people and what they accomplish, which goes directly to creating organizational excellence. As such, organisations need to do all they can to create perception of the sense of self in employees and encourage them to perceive the organisation as a collective being they belong and contribute. Creating a supportive workplace where our team can say what’s on their minds – and use their full talents to achieve it – is vital. In this respect, the role of organizational leadership is crucial to setting strategic directions, establishing efficient work systems and procedures, and providing guidance toward the indicator of brilliance the organization desires.
Alternatively, employees should have a handful of unique traits that promote creativity and innovation. From these the sense of duty and devotion to work, career and excellent performance is manifested. Employees are considering role models in their organization, feel satisfied from their achievements and achieve psychological equilibrium and self realization. They also exhibit positive motivations in their interactions with co workers and are willing to take on challenging or threatening situations. Sometimes people even invite setbacks and obstacles in order to stimulate ambition and improve performance (assuming that they are operating from the premise of organizational greatness and if excellence is fashioned as a corporate value).
This point of view suggests that organisational excellence may be conceived in terms of a number of dimensions or factors, as manifestations which can indicate its presence or absence. These parameters as determined by . .. are given here:
Outstanding leadership is the absolute difference in helping to facilitate organizational brilliance; it generates a condition of aliveness, excitement and inspiration among workers who are freed to excel by unconventional, creative processes. Employee response to such leadership would be that of solving problems with unconventional means and methods, increase in confidence level while confronting business challenges and the formation of their skills into competitive strategies to create distinct, effective and convincing effects at work. Furthermore, leadership support is involved in creating best answers to handling organizational problems as well as focusing on promoting the values of excellence and brilliance since it allows them to become a part of the mission and strategic goals of the organization. As such, brilliant leadership will serve as a building block in organizational success and quality towards sustainable perfection .
Leadership is also the ability to predict and carry out changes in different contexts,navigating between organizational inflexibility and giving chance for employees todirect action when change is needed. According to Sharma and . leadership has been identified as one of the most important factors affecting organizational performance in contemporary times because modern organizational management now requires leaders with higher orders of skill because they cannot cope with transformational changes unleashed by knowledge based economy. Competent leaders are those who can pinpoint the weak and problematic areas about various organizational dimensions that will enable competition and allow for the drive of organizational excellence. Furthermore, leaders are responsible to developing a clear vision and amalgamate it with an organization’s shared vision with employees why helps along in providing the direction for work at play. Leaders increase the organization’s sensitivity to its external environment and promote the proper utilization of such forces. In addition, strategic leaders have the power to suppress inefficient behavior and to impel their subordinates to other more productive behavioral patterns during they motivate, support and stimulation their subordinates. Also, they are critical in transmitting the organization’s vision and objectives to all employees, focusing them on shared goals as well as enhancing the capacity of individual employees to master challenges .Consequently leadership excellence may be characterized by the ability of a leader to implement cutting edge analysis to disable virtually any circumstance and environmental variable; personal skills and attributes which facilitate high levels of flexibility in managing organizational processes. It helps to implement change in the organization which is needed, it promotes innovation in work and give a hand to individuals so that they can effectively participate in change process destined for the goal of future organization.
.Excellence in Service and Innovation
The Quality of products and services is one of the hands for measuring the performance of an organization because it relates to how organizations know what their customers are looking for and whether they are satisfied with what they receive. Service excellence is the service that is supplied by one part to another through a set of activities which are intangible and mostly related in tangible products or services. It describes the ability of an organization to provide services and features that conform to or exceed customer requirements, in line with costs. Attaining such excellence is largely a function of the aptitude of organisational leaders to create change and innovation in a manner that results in high-quality and diverse products/services .
Innovation is also an important factor to organization long-run survival as well as success, and forms the foundation of competitive advantages. There are two major dimensions in the process of innovation: technological and psychological innovation. Innovation In the technology structure refers to ongoing process of new product and processes development such as substantial improvement of existing technologies. Psychological innovation, however, concerns the innovator’s traits and behaviors, and psychological factors that promote creative thought. Organizations around the world are committing to products and services integration as a means of delivering greater value for customers: The latter demands new strategic programs in total human resource management, capable of promoting and preventing great innovation .
. for example, highlighted that successful innovation depends on significant requirements of human and material resources and effective reward systems that encourage employees to suggest new ideas. In addition to this, they need encouraging an organizational culture that promotes creativity and innovation by every department. In such case distinctive processes or capabilities must be in place to ensure a fast and efficient go-to-market. In other words, innovation may be explained as the capacity of an organization to develop new services in response to customer needs, whilst the service and innovation excellence denotes the organization’s successful investment in knowledge resources for improving and developing distinctive products and services.
Hence, excellence in quality and innovation is the way of converting such opportunities into new and advanced ideas that are effectively used in creation and transformation of products/services. This process requires tuning the organisation's structure according to environmental necessity so that new knowledge can be developed, and added value can be delivered to customers. In this framework artistic people take place being the reference points thanks to their creativity which helps them to provide original ideas and new solutions concerning product and service. Their sophisticated mental powers and ability to think creatively help produce original outputs that enhance competitive advantages of organizations in an extremely competitive environment.
.
Many scholars have been identifying a number of properties, which set knowledge apart from other assets possessed by organizations. No one really ever knows anything since knowledge is paradoxically not a thing. It becomes more valuable as it is used across the processes and functions at once. ”Knowledge is residing in the minds and actions individuals who have cognitive abilities, but it (knowledge) has significant influence on the performance of the organization, this periodic different use of knowledge can last for long period .
Thus, most companies seek the effective use of knowledge assets to achieve sustained competitive advantage and improved performance. To achieve this, good management in knowledge assets is essential, and that demands strong leadership. Sustaining the competitive advantage of knowledge is contingent on individual knowledge being maintained and effectively incorporated into organisational capabilities, emphasising knowledge as a fundamental resource for firms. Such knowledge management processes also serve to improve processes and methods, as well as transform staff-generated ideas into abstract and codified know-how in order for those ideas be used toward attainment of organizational objectives. Managers are also supposed to foster cooperation between employees in order to promote networking among them in a manner which is beneficial for the organisation as a whole. In this sense, KB emerges as a level of awareness and understanding from the gathered experience and its potential to apply effectively such episodes in making decisions and that contributes to organizational brilliancy .
From a quality perspective, the attractiveness of KB is evident in its capability to be useful By supplying decision support knowledge workers with exact and timely information, knowledge brilliance improves the quality of decisions processes. And it increases the employee's ability to comprehend and implement his work more efficiently .
Third Axis
Practical framework
This part of the research focuses on the use of several statistical applications to describe the research sample, summarize its variables and diagnose them in the light of the analysis of the answers of the researchers, represented by a sample of employees at the Northern Technical University, by adopting the statistical program (SPSS V26) by inference on percentages, arithmetic media, standard deviations, relative importance and testing of differences, and the statistical program (AMOS V24) was also used.) in the aggregate formula to test the correlation and effect hypotheses.
First: Describe and diagnose the dimensions and variables of the research.
In terms of the calculated value of (T), which is greater than the tabular value of (T) of (1.96) at the significance level of (a=0.05), the results of Table (4) show that the average of the answers of each of the study variables (green human resource management) and (organizational brilliance) was significantly higher than the hypothetical mean of (2). The same result also shows the probability value (The P-value accompanying the test value, which amounted to (0.000) and (0.002)] respectively., which is less than 0.05, and this is evidence that the two variables are used at Northern Technical University from the perspective of a sample of Northern Technical University employees. As for the relative importance of each variable's dimensions, the dimension of "green training and development" ranked first in terms of the relative importance of the variable "green human resource management," as measured by the arithmetic mean value, which reached 2.59 with a standard deviation of 1.34 and a relative importance of 0.86. The Green Reward System came in second in terms of the arithmetic mean value, This was equivalent to (2.54), with a standard deviation of (1.74) and a relative importance of (0.85); Job Design and Analysis was in third place with an arithmetic mean of (2.50), with a standard deviation of (0.41) and a relative importance of (0.83); and Performance Management was in fourth place. Green and its Evaluation), with an arithmetic mean of 2.49, a standard deviation of 0.97, and a relative importance of 0.83; and, lastly, in fifth place, Employment and Green Selection, with an arithmetic mean of 2.35, a standard deviation of 0.70, and a relative importance of 0.78.), The dimension of (brilliance in leadership) shared the third and last rank in terms of the value of the arithmetic mean, which came to (2.63), with a standard deviation of (2.46), and a relative importance of (0.88), while the order of relative importance of the variable's dimensions (organizational brilliance) came after (brilliance in knowledge).) in the first place in terms of the arithmetic mean value, which came to (2.87), with a standard deviation of (2.84) and a relative importance of (0.96).
As for the level of applying the dimensions of the study variables in the research organization, the results of the (T) test showed that all dimensions are applied in the Northern Technical University from the point of view of the research sample, in terms of the value of the arithmetic mean of those dimensions, where they appeared with a difference from the average value of (2) and that this difference is significant in terms of the probability value accompanying the test, in which the highest value appeared (0.002) and is less than (0.05).

The value of the stratified alpha coefficient was (0.95), and the value of stability at the dimensional level was between (0.99-0.78), while at the level of variables, it appeared between (0.99) for green human resources management and (0.95) for organizational brilliance, and this indicates the strength of the stability of the form in general.
Third: Verification of Research Hypotheses
Given the value and correlation coefficient signal reaching (0.84) and the probability value (P-value) reaching (0.01), which is less than (0.05), Table (5) and Figure (2) demonstrate a direct and strong correlation between organizational brilliance and green HRP management shows that this correlation is statistically significant. The same result indicates the confidence interval (95%), in which both the lower and the upper appeared with the same signal, which is the positive signal, which strengthens the relationship between the two variables.
This reflects the acceptance of the first main hypothesis, which states that there is a correlation between green HR management and organizational brilliance.

Table (6) and Figure (2) show each of the following:
The significance of these relationships is enhanced by the values of the correlation coefficient located between the upper and lower bounds, as well as the similarity of the signals of both the lower and upper for each pair of correlations.
