Background: Green human resource management refers to activities involving development, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of a system that leads to greening employees of an organization. Human resources’ issues cannot be limited to one area of expertise. As a result, decisions and performance of the personnel officers at all levels affect the organization’s performance. So, this study aimed to investigate the effect of green human resource management on environmental performance of Red Crescent with mediating role of green culture empowering factors. Methods: The present study was applied in purpose and since the structural equation modeling method was used to test the hypotheses, it is considered as a correlation analysis. The statistical population consisted of 440 Red Crescent employees in Khuzestan province. The sample size of the study was determined as 205 using the Jersey and Morgan Table. The participants were selected using simple random sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire and the collected data were analyzed using structural equation test by SPSS 24 and Lisrel 8.5 software. Results: Based on the findings, the green human resource management measures had a positive significant effect on environmental performance and green culture factors with a significant amount of 2.53 and 6.54, respectively. Furthermore, empowerment factors had a positive significant effect on environmental performance with a significant amount of 2.40. In addition, the mediating role of green culture empowerment factors was confirmed in the relationship between green human resource management measures and environmental performance (0.536). Conclusion: Since environmental problems and their effects have a great impact on the performance of Red Crescent employees and on the attitude of domestic and foreign consumers towards domestic products, environmental performance of the Red Crescent should be considered. Moreover, the Red Crescent should use green human resource management to work on the growth and development of green human resources.

Abstract The study aimed to examine the mediating role of environment management practices between green intellectual capital and green human resource management. A positivism philosophy, explanatory research design and quantitative research methodology was employed for collecting data from 125 ready-made garment manufacturing firms in Bangladesh. Smart-PLS 3.2.9 was used to observe the proposed relationship. The results indicated that environment management practice has a significant influence in the relationship between green human capital and green human resource management, and green relational capital and green human resource management. Surprisingly, environment management practice does not play any significant mediating role in between green structural capital and green human resource management. In addition, green human capital and green relational capital has a significant direct influence on green human resource management. However, green structural capital does not have any significant direct impact on green human resource management.

PurposeThe role of green human resource management in Islamic banking remains relatively unexplored. This study focuses on how green human resource management plays a part using intellectual capital and how green human resource improves employee commitment, eco-friendly behavior and environmental performance in Islamic banks.Design/methodology/approachThis paper integrated two well-established theoretical frameworks, namely, intellectual capital-based view theory and social identity theory. A survey-based research instrument was employed to collect sample data of 231 respondents. To test hypotheses, we considered partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM)-based approach using SmartPLS.FindingsThe results indicate that green human capital, green structural capital and green relational capital significantly influenced green human resource management. Similarly, green human resource management showed a significant positive impact on employee commitment, eco-friendly behavior and environmental performance. Moreover, this study found significant positive results on the interrelationship between employee commitment, eco-friendly behavior and environmental performance. The outcomes recommend that Islamic bank HR managers and top management should strengthen green human resource management policies. Additionally, the Islamic bank HR department should consider bank intellectual capital and employee social identity while making environment-friendly policies.Originality/valueThis study provides novel contributions by offering some useful guidelines to Islamic bank managers and practitioners. In addition, our research aids general green human resource literature and adds value to promoting a sustainable organization.

Hence, numerous organizations in most of the industries are implementing a proactive and strategic environmental performance programs to gain competitive advantage such as green human resource management (GHRM). However, investment in GHRM practices will have not only a direct effect on environmental performance, but also an indirect effect through several mediating variables because of the nature underlying the green HRM practices concept. Studies in GHRM literature has paid scarce attention to the identification of preceding organizational capabilities that could inspire the adoption of environmental performance programs. Grounded by hotel industry in Malaysia as the hotel industry is one of the sectors which largely contribute to the environmental issues. This study utilized a research model to determine how the GHRM bundle through organizational citizenship behaviour towards environment (OCBE) will help to enhance the environmental performance in Malaysia’s hotel industry
