This study aims to examine the impact of human resource management strategies on gaining a competitive advantage in Jordanian commercial banks. Human resource strategies can help organizations achieve their goals by attracting and retaining skilled workers who contribute to the organization’s competitive advantage. A competitive environment requires effective human resource strategies. Thus, the study utilizes a descriptive analysis approach to analyze the data and test the hypotheses through SPSS and PLS-SEM-4. The study population comprises 13 banks, and the sample includes all employees of human resources departments. A total of 411 respondents joined a comprehensive survey, and 405 questionnaires were deemed valid. The findings reveal that human resource management strategies have a positive impact on competitive advantage (p = 0.000) and organizational climate (p = 0.000); organizational climate positively affects competitive advantage (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the study shows an indirect relationship between human resource management strategies and competitive advantage through organizational climate (p < 0.001).
