Greening the Workplace: Harnessing Human Resource Strategies for Employee Pro-environmental Behavior

Abstract

This study examines the effects of Green HRM practices on employee pro-environmental behavior, such as green performance management and appraisal, green training and development, hiring and selecting practices, and incentive and remuneration practices. It also investigates the mediation effect of pro-environmental psychological capital between pro-environmental behavior and green HRM practices.To promote environmental sustainability, employee actions that support the environment are a prerequisite for the organization. The predominant issue HR professionals face today is ensuring environmental sustainability. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 350 manufacturing company employees. The snowball sampling technique was utilized. The findings showed that GHRM practices positively influence pro-environmental behavior and that this relationship is mediated by pro-environmental psychological capital. Companies should provide green awareness to their employees about environmental issues by offering green training that clarifies the principles.
