Green Human Resource Management

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.

Sustainability is one of the main strategy aspects of present corporate world. Environmental issues have already been widespread as one of the main components of the business sustainability. 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

Green Human Resource Management

The rapid degradation of today’s environment has required the governments and organizations to introduce effective countermeasures. Governments have enforced green policies, and organizations have drawn on these policies to implement environmentally friendly workplace practices. The success of these practices is very much dependent on the employees and the extent of their green behavior. As such, there is a need to determine whether green behavior can be positively influenced by other variables. One of the suggested influencing variables is green human resource management (HRM). Another variable with the potential mediating effect is personal moral norms (PMN). Also, there is a need to examine the interplay of green HRM, employee green behavior (EGB), and PMN within the context of higher education institutions (HEIs) as they also take responsibility for protecting the environment. It is believed that to date, studies of this nature have not involved academics at HEIs in Malaysia. This study aims to examine the mechanism by which green HRM affects EGB of academics at Malaysian HEIs through PMN as mediator. Data were collected through a cross-sectional quantitative survey among 425 academics at five research universities in Malaysia. The analysis was performed using Smart PLS version 3.2.8. There was a positive significant relationship between green HRM and PMN and a positive significant relationship between PMN and EGB. Hence, green HRM had an effect on EGB through the mediating role of PMN. However, there was no significant direct relationship between green HRM and EGB. Other studies have investigated the effects of several mediating variables in the relationship between green HRM and EGB; however, the effect of one variable—PMN—has not been examined. This study, as it investigates the vital aspect of behavioral formation, is believed to be the first study that examines the mediating role of PMN in the interplay between green HRM and EGB of academics. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed in this study.

Green Human Resource Management

Research on the interrelationship between green human resource management (GHRM), employee pro-environmental behaviors, and environmental performance remains very limited, especially in relation to small tourism enterprises. This research bridges a knowledge gap and examines the direct effect of GHRM on environmental performance in small tourism enterprises and the indirect effect through employee pro-environmental behaviors. For this purpose, a quantitative research approach was adopted using a pre-tested instrument. A questionnaire was handed to employees in small hotels and travel agencies in Greater Cairo, Egypt. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) showed a positive significant effect of GHRM on both types of pro-environmental behaviors (tasked-related and proactive). However, the results, surprisingly, showed no significant direct effect of GHRM on environmental performance. Notwithstanding, there was an indirect, positive, and significant effect of GHRM on environmental performance through tasked-related and proactive pro-environmental behaviors. This reflects the value and vital role of employee pro-environmental behaviors in the relationship between GHRM and environmental performance in small tourism enterprises. The research provided various implications for tourism scholars and practitioners, especially those related to small tourism enterprises. Research limitations and opportunities for further research are also discussed.
