Green Human Resource Management

Researchers and practitioners have argued that human resource management practices have a positive impact on environmental outcomes. This is because green human resource management practices enhance a firm's environmental performance. Although studies do not explain how green initiatives can enable organisational sustainability, this chapter examines the influence of green human resource management practices on organisational sustainability in the context of Nigeria. The chapter adopted a discourse content analysis as a method of data collection. The chapter holds that organisational sustainability relies on green training intervention as the means of understanding and redressing the human environment with a view to achieving and sustaining a better quality of life. Conclusively, green human resource management practices target protecting the ecosystem, among others. The chapter recommended that sustainability could be achieved through employee green behaviour and eco-innovation at the industrial level.

Intensity Of Competition

The application of “green” Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP) to achieve a company’s competitive advantage particularly in the hospitality industry is arguably derives from<br />its Human Resource Management strategy. This has been driven by both customer requirements and increasing intensity of competition. It seems essential these days to invest in quality of Human Resources in order to improve its competitive advantage. However, far from being investigated as the difficulty for the consistency and integrity of the application of ‘green’ HRMP in the workplace.<br />Furthermore, a frame of reference for “Green” HRM has yet to emerge. It is suggested that “green”’ HRMP concepts and frameworks could be utilized to improve the hospitality industry<br />maintaining its green environment. This paper examines critical aspects of ‘green’ HRMP theory and practices to underpinning business service performance. Indeed, the paper suggests a research agenda that could begin to investigate these propositions.

Green Human Resource Management

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.

Human Resource Management Practices

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the human resource management practices and the associated dimensions of quality of employment in university spin-offs. Through this, it becomes possible to explore and recognize the practices and difficulties placed on the employees of university spin-offs. Design/methodology/approach The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) framework to assess the quality of work in the European Union is adopted. It is used a qualitative approach through the development of four case studies at university spin-offs located in Portugal. These case studies relate to four sectors of activity, such as information technology, urban mobility, health and electronics. Findings The findings reveal that most of the challenges of quality of work in a spin-off university are common to those in an SME or micro company. Among these factors, the authors highlight the lack of job security, reduced or no social protection and very low income and nonwage pecuniary benefits. Other factors specific to university spin-offs also emerge, such as the numerous opportunities for skills development and training, the potentialities to become an entrepreneur and the high number of working hours that are necessary to face the vibrant market dynamics. Originality/value The study aims to contribute, in a theoretical and empirically grounded basis, to the knowledge about the quality of employment in a spin-off university. This work becomes relevant for policymakers to understand in depth the specific challenges faced by employees of a spin-off university.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the status and challenges of green human resource management practices in India, an under-researched area. Further, it proposes a theoretical framework to fill the identified gaps and build a sustainable organization. Design/methodology/approach Multimethod approach was used. The research was conducted in two phases. Archival research was conducted in the first phase, and a case study technique was employed in the second phase. In the first phase, an extensive literature review was carried out to gather insights on prevalent green human resource activities and their link with sustainable organizational development. In the second phase, data were collected from the manufacturing organizations to analyze the status of the activities identified in the first phase. Findings This study highlights status of green human resource practices such as environmental training, green recruitment, performance appraisal, employee involvement and compensation. The findings suggest that there is further scope to utilize the full potential of GHRM practices for encouraging pro-environmental behavior in the organizations. Analyses of data also reveal that top-management support and mutual learning among departments are crucial to facilitate green behaviors among employees. Research limitations/implications This study provides a comprehensive literature review of green-human resource management practices. It suggests an interdisciplinary framework for building holistic sustainable organizations by integrating learnings from green human resource management, green supply-chain management, competitive advantage strategy and green corporate social responsibility. It highlights gaps in the system and provides insights to managers and policy makers on building holistic sustainable organizations. Originality/value This study fulfills the need to explore green human resource management in emerging economies like India. Studies like these are more important in developing countries, which have alarming environmental concerns and poorly implemented government regulations.
