Abstract

Purpose The environmental sustainability of manufacturing firms may begin with employees' green initiatives. Consequently, there is a need to examine how green human resource management (GHRM) promotes green creativity among manufacturing employees. This study aims to ascertain whether manufacturing employees' environmental-felt responsibility (EFR) and work engagement with eco-initiatives (WEEI) serve as a serial mediation mechanism for the relationship between GHRM and green creativity. Further, the quality of green communication (QGC) moderated the link of GHRM with EFR and WEEI. Design/methodology/approach The data were garnered from 408 managers in Pakistani manufacturing firms and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings The findings revealed a significant and positive association of GHRM with green creativity, EFR and WEEI. Similarly, EFR and WEEI demonstrated significant and positive relationships with green creativity. Furthermore, EFR and WEEI mediated the relationship between GHRM and green creativity. Moreover, this relationship was also serially mediated by EFR and WEEI. Additionally, QGC moderated the relationship of GHRM with EFR and WEEI. Originality/value Anchored on the self-determination theory integrated with a resource-based view, this study provides novel empirical evidence by investigating the mechanisms and boundary conditions between GHRM and green creativity nexus.

制造业迈向可持续发展:绿色人力资源管理能否促进绿色创新行为?串行中介模型

制造企业的环境可持续性可以从员工的绿色行动开始。因此，有必要研究绿色人力资源管理(GHRM)如何促进制造业员工的绿色创造力。本研究旨在探讨制造业员工的环境感受责任(EFR)和工作投入与生态倡议(WEEI)是否在GHRM与绿色创造力之间起到一系列中介作用。此外，绿色通信质量(QGC)调节了GHRM与EFR和WEEI之间的联系。设计/方法/方法数据来自巴基斯坦制造公司的408名经理，并使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型进行分析。结果表明，GHRM与绿色创意、EFR和WEEI呈显著正相关。同样，EFR和WEEI与绿色创造力也表现出显著的正相关关系。此外，EFR和WEEI在GHRM与绿色创意的关系中起中介作用。此外，EFR和WEEI也依次介导了这一关系。QGC对GHRM与EFR和WEEI的关系有调节作用。本研究以自我决定理论为基础，结合资源基础理论，对绿色创新与温室效应管理的关系机制和边界条件进行了研究，为绿色创新提供了新的实证证据。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management (JMTM) aspires to be the premier destination for impactful manufacturing-related research. JMTM provides comprehensive international coverage of topics pertaining to the management of manufacturing technology, focusing on bridging theoretical advancements with practical applications to enhance manufacturing practices. JMTM seeks articles grounded in empirical evidence, such as surveys, case studies, and action research, to ensure relevance and applicability. All submissions should include a thorough literature review to contextualize the study within the field and clearly demonstrate how the research contributes significantly and originally by comparing and contrasting its findings with existing knowledge. Articles should directly address management of manufacturing technology and offer insights with broad applicability.
