Green Human Resource Management

Social responsibility and environmental management have been for some years at the focus for a lot of companies, which do consider them as important part of their strategy. Human resource management is one of the functional strategies and part of top management in the organizations capable of playing a particular role in crafting and implementing policies that contribute to the environmental management and responsibility. This orientation, recently recognized as “Green HRM”, is broadly elaborated in the worldwide HRM literature and closely related to the environmental management system. The companies do implement practices of HRM by orienting them towards the engagement of employees in green management. Processes like recruitment, selection, training and performance compensation are perceived and “modeled” in the light of green management practices. This paper intends to present the green approach of HRM in the theoretical framework, based on the existing literature, and also to evidence how Albanian organizations are grasping it.  The objective is to bring out the good practices of leader companies in green HRM as a mean to draw the attention of as many other organizations as possible to highlight the importance of this approach in activities that are both profitable and socially responsible.

The Ministry of Health should provide employees opportunity to make decisions on how to go about their tasks, seeking employees’ input in managerial decisions, delegating to them tasks that they can handle, equipping them with skills required by their jobs, setting achievable targets and incorporating employees in fair evaluation of performance, salary increase and fair administration of rewards. Job performance should be considered in determining the compensation of employee’s performance.

ABSTRACT In this study, we explore the role of organizational virtuousness (OV) as a mechanism through which human resource management practices (HRMPs) affect employee outcomes. We propose that HRMPs lead to higher levels of organizational citizenship behaviors and affective commitment by stimulating OV. Using a sample of 525 workers, from 22 stores of a retailing company, we found evidence that HRMPs predict OV, thereby predicting members’ citizenship behaviors and affective commitment. By suggesting this new mediator, this study contributes to a better understanding of the causal chain linking HRMPs and performance.

This study sought to establish how Human Resource Management practices predict tutor turnover intentions in primary Teacher Training colleges (PTTCs) in Kenya. The objectives of the study were: to establish the influence of Training, Compensation, Career development and Performance management on tutor turnover intentions in PTTCs in Kenya. The scope of the study was the Nairobi Metropolitan region. Multi stage sampling was used to obtain a sample size of 152 respondents where the actual response rate was 74.3%. The findings of the study showed that training, compensation, career development and performance management were poorly practiced and that they significantly and negatively predict tutor turnover intentions in PTTCs as they collectively accounted for 28% variation in the experienced turnover intentions among the tutors. The findings raise both theoretical and practical implications for underpinning HRM practice, behavioral science theories and personnel administrative responsibilities to college principals respectively. The study calls on future research to consider the contingent effects of the tutors' demographic characteristics and the contextual factors surrounding HRM Practice in the Colleges.
