<b>Background</b>Sustainability in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which engage heavily in manufacturing provides them with an essential platform for implementing environmental strategy, which is aimed at reducing environmental damage and promoting environmental protection. This study aims to examine the impact of the reduction in resource use, the greening of processes and products on environmental strategy and the mediating role of green employee behaviour.<br><b>Methods</b>Primary data gathered with the help of questionnaires from employees of SMEs manufacturing in developing countries, Pakistan. The research gathered data from 211 participants by applying a pre-tested instrumental questionnaire and structural equation modelling (SEM) for data analysis.<br><b>Results</b>The results confirmed all direct effects, including a reduction in resource use, the greening of processes and products and green employee behaviour of environmental strategies in small and medium manufacturing firms. Also, confirmed partial mediation effect of green employee behavior between greening of processes and products and environmental strategy.<br><b>Conclusion</b>The current study clearly showed the need for programs and infrastructures that support resource reduction and greening businesses in SMEs. Companies’ implementation of green processes and technologies allows SMEs to take an environmentally responsible stand and become part of the movement toward sustainability. The research stresses the importance of green employee conduct as a mediator, the central point being the individual employee being engaged and aware of the subject and willing to participate in environmentally friendly practices. Therefore, small and medium enterprises should enlighten their staff to practice green behaviour, give them what they need and empower them to be change drivers that will trigger sustainability throughout the organisations.

<b>研究背景</b>深度投身制造业的中小企业（Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, SMEs）的可持续发展，为其落实环境战略提供了核心载体，该战略旨在降低环境破坏、推动环境保护工作。本研究旨在探讨资源使用缩减、流程与产品绿色化对环境战略的影响，以及绿色员工行为的中介作用。
<b>研究方法</b>本研究通过问卷调研方式，从发展中国家巴基斯坦的制造业中小企业员工处收集一手数据。研究采用经过预测试的标准化问卷，共回收211份有效样本，并运用结构方程模型（Structural Equation Modelling, SEM）开展数据分析。
<b>研究结果</b>结果证实了所有直接影响效应，包括资源使用缩减、流程与产品绿色化以及绿色员工行为对中小制造企业环境战略的作用。同时证实了绿色员工行为在流程与产品绿色化和环境战略之间发挥部分中介作用。
<b>研究结论</b>本研究明确指出，中小企业亟需能够支持资源缩减与业务绿色化的相关方案与基础设施。企业推行绿色流程与技术，能够帮助中小制造企业树立环境责任立场，并融入可持续发展的行业浪潮。本研究强调了绿色员工行为作为中介变量的重要性，核心在于员工个体需主动参与、充分认知相关议题，并愿意践行环保行为。因此，中小企业应加强对员工的环保理念培训，为其提供必要支持，并赋予其权力，使其成为推动组织内部可持续发展的变革推动者。
