The manufacturing sector is one of the major sources contributing towards economies as well as environmental pollution. Contributing to the theory of ability motivation opportunity theory, the aim of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment on the relationship between green human resources management (green recruitment and selection, green training, green rewards, and green performance evaluation), corporate social responsibility, and sustainable performance (economic, social, and environmental performance). The quantitative survey research design was used in the current study and structured questionnaires were distributed for the collection of data. The cross-sectional data were collected from 150 firms. Sample of the study was consisted of HRM managers, directors. Total 200 questionnaires were distributed but 150 completed responses were received and analyzed. A structured questionnaire was used. For data analysis, smart partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used. The measurement model and the structural model were developed and tested in the study. The measurement model aim was to investigate and establish reliabilities and validities of the instrument while to test hypotheses structural model was formulated/developed. Results revealed that the instrument was found reliable and valid; the instrument has met all standard criteria for average variance extracted, composite/construct reliability factor loadings, and alpha values. While structural models illustrated that all hypotheses are accepted. It is concluded from the results that organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment significantly mediated the relationship between corporate social responsibility and green human resource management practices. This implies that organizational citizenship behavior towards environment significantly effects sustainable performance. The originality of the current study lies in highlighting corporate social responsibility, green human resources management practices to enhance sustainable performance through organizational citizenship behavior towards environment.

PurposeIn the past, simply fulfilling economic performance alone was critical to ensuring the success of companies and their shareholders, but this traditional perspective is not compatible with society's current demands, as there is increasing social pressure on organizations to become more sustainable and reduce impacts on the environment, promoting sustainable results in their business processes. In this context, the specialized literature states that human resources management (HRM) is considered a central aspect for building sustainable organizations, in particular, the area of green human resources management (GHRM). Thus, this study analyzes the relationship between GHRM and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Brazilian companies. Company's age, size, ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications are the control variables.Design/methodology/approachThe authors adopted a quantitative approach in conducting the survey. Four waves of email were sent to HR and CSR managers from 853 Brazilian companies from the metallurgical, automotive and chemical industries. In total, 79 questionnaires were fully answered, higher than the minimum sample calculated by the G*Power 3.1 software, which corresponds to a return rate of 9.26%. For the analysis of the results, the partial least squares method was used.FindingsThis research identifies that GHRM practices, in fact, positively influence CSR practices. The findings evidence that practices of performance evaluation, teamwork and recruitment and selection are the most important for a better CSR performance. The research results indicate that the “ISO 9001 certification” control variable also has a positive and significant effect on CSR and that the size of the company, the age of the company and the ISO 14001 certification, in the analyzed sample, were not relevant (as control variables) for CSR.Originality/valueCurrent literature highlights the gap between GHRM and CSR. This relationship is not explored in Brazil. The study uses a new theoretical model, and it fills the gap identified in the literature. This paper brings important theoretical and managerial contributions. It is the first in the literature to show, in an empirical way, the positive relationship between GHRM and CSR, contributing in an original way to the state of the art of the GHRM and CSR theme. In addition, this research adds empirical evidence on GHRM and CSR in Latin America/South America/Brazil.

The topic of corporate social responsibility and human resource strategy has developed together in the study as well in practice in a business environment. Both have become very powerful tools within the company to achieve sustainable growth for the company. Corporate social responsibility deals with labor-related issues, such as human rights, labor practices, health care, and the environment, and others, while implementing a good human resource strategy will support the practice of corporate social responsibility to be more effective, meaning that there is a mutual relationship among them. Companies that implement corporate social responsibility properly will pay attention to efforts to work legality at the company and improve company performance and more adequate business sustainability. This research has shown that adequate human resources management practice would significantly increase the company's corporate social responsibility.

The organization of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives deals with a “make” or “buy” trade-off among in-house solutions instead of a partial (collaboration) or total (outsourcing) externalization of such activities. This article aims to advance the knowledge of the criteria underlying the governance modes of CSR. In particular, integrating the organizational economics with the insights provided by the stakeholder management, the study deepens the reasons why primary stakeholders, such as human resources (HR) and customers, may affect the choice to internalize the governance of CSR projects. Findings are consistent with the theoretical framework. In fact, internal solutions are more likely for CSR initiatives addressed to HR and customers. Given the direct linkage of these stakeholders with the achievement of the company’s mission, results corroborate the concept of closeness of CSR actions with respect to the firm’s core business as driver of in-house projects.
