Green human capital (GHC) is regarded as one of the primary attributes individuals need to develop in the era of environmental degradation. Many existing studies indicate that it is probably an important indicator of employees’ satisfaction in the workplace. Thus, based on trait theory and ability–motivation–opportunity theory, the current study examines the antecedents and outcomes of GHC among 630 employees from the manufacturing and service companies in Guangdong Province. The research employs Big Five personality and green training as the predictors of GHC, and job satisfaction as the outcome variable. Partial least squares structural equation modeling is used to analyze the data. The findings show that, in Big Five personality domains, only agreeableness and openness have a positive as well as significant impact on the individuals’ GHC, and that green training also has a positive influence on the GHC. GHC has a positive impact on the employees’ job satisfaction. The research findings and managerial implications are then discussed in detail.

Our paper investigates the way in which the different dimensions of organizational justice and organizational commitment are mediated by work satisfaction. The rationale of the study is two folded. First, in our opinion there is a gap in scientific literature when it comes to studies that explore the way in which the dimensions of organizational justice and organizational commitment interact, most researches treating commitment as an aggregate concept. Second, even thou the interaction between organizational justice, job satisfaction and organizational commitment is well documented, studies that consider job satisfaction a mediator rather than an outcome variable are few even, if these few provide strong evidence regarding the value of job satisfaction as a mediator. Our research was done two Romanian manufacturing organization, in Harghita and Brașov Counties (N = 676) and the collected data was interpreted using exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The obtained model not only further enforces existing body of knowledge regarding the strong relation between organizational justice and commitment but also proposes a way in which the dimensions of these two concepts relate to each other, relation that is mediated by job satisfaction. Our proposed model shows that three of the four dimensions of organizational justice (procedural, distributive, interactional justice) are mediated by job satisfaction (distributive justice) and one is partially mediated (procedural).
