We examined the relationships between green human resource management practices, organizational identification, and green citizenship behaviors in the hotel industry. Our framework comprised 5 dimensions of green human resource management practices: green recruitment, green training, green performance management, green reward, and green involvement. We predicted that each dimension would positively influence frontline employees' organizational identification, and, in turn, their green organizational citizenship behaviors of eco-initiatives, eco-civic engagement, and eco-helping. Participants were 426 frontline employees working in Taiwanese hotels. Consistent with our predictions, each of the 5 green human resource management practices had a positive influence on organizational identification, which then positively affected green organizational citizenship behavior. Moreover, green human resource management practices enhanced employees' green organizational citizenship behavior, and organizational identification was an effective mediator of the relationship between green human resource management practices and green organizational citizenship behavior. Practical and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.

Generating employees' altruistic behaviors toward green activities is important. We sought to understand what factors influence green organizational citizenship behavior of employees in the restaurant industry in Taiwan by examining the relationships among green human resource management practices, employee commitment toward the environment, and green organizational citizenship behaviors. We used convenience sampling to collect data from 512 frontline staff of restaurant chains in Taiwan. Structural equation modeling was conducted to test our hypotheses, and the results show that five green human resource management practices were positively related to employee commitment toward the environment, which, in turn, positively affected green organizational citizenship behavior. Managers of restaurants can adopt this understanding of the relationships of green human resource management practices with employees' commitment toward the environment and green citizenship behavior.

Many organizations face the important challenges of motivating employees effectively to participate in corporate social responsibility initiatives and maintaining socially responsible human resource management practices. We examine whether socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) practices can affect employees’ social responsibility-related behaviors, such as organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE). Based on proactive motivation theory, we propose a multiple-mediation model, selecting moral efficacy, felt obligation, and empathy as the mediators. We analyzed data from a sample of 535 employees from 23 manufacturing companies in China. The results show that SRHRM practices have a significant positive effect on OCBE. We also found that moral efficacy, felt obligation, and empathy significantly mediate the effect of SRHRM practices on OCBE and that there is no significant difference among the three mediation paths. Our study suggests that organizational pursuit of the socially responsible human resource management practices is an effective pathway to make employees feel more responsible toward global sustainability.

PurposeDrawing on the Ability–Motivation–Opportunity (AMO) theory, this study aims to test the effect of green human resource management (G-HRM) on green organizational citizenship behavior (G-OCB) taking into consideration green culture as the mediator and green values as the moderator.Design/methodology/approachValid data from 240 entities collected in Taiwan were analyzed to test the five hypotheses. The valid data were analyzed using confirmatory factor model, correlation analysis, structural equation modeling and bootstrapping analysis.FindingsThe results for all relationships show significant associations. G-HRM is significantly associated with G-OCB and green culture, while green culture is significantly related to G-OCB. The mediating effect of green culture on the G-HRM-G-OCB relationship is significant. The moderating effect of green values on the green culture–G-OCB relationship is significant.Originality/valueThe originality of this study lies in being one of the first study in an advanced emerging economy utilizing the AMO theory.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior towards Environment (OCBE) is a construct that is increasingly being studied to explain voluntary green behaviors by employees. Performance of OCBEs by employees has been associated with positive outcomes such as improved environmental sustainability of organizations. Hence, promoting more of these behaviors is important for organizations both from an environmental and corporate sustainability perspective. Several studies have examined the influence of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) however, there are still calls for more research into the influence of all these three variables; POS and Green HRM on OCB towards environment. The target respondents are executives in middle level management from the petroleum refineries operating in Peninsular Malaysia. Fixed-alternatives questionnaires are used as the research instrument in this study. The data from pilot study were tested and analyzed by using SPSS to compute results namely. The expected result is that there is a positive significant relationship between the independent variables; Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM), Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and dependent variable Organizational Citizenship Behavior towards environment (OCBE). This study provides insights for regulators and policymakers on the extent to which practices and interventions affect Organization Citizenship Behavior on Environment in petroleum refineries operating in Malaysia.
