Abstract

PurposeWhilst organisations' responses to implementing sustainability principles have been influenced significantly by external pressures (e.g. competitor action, regulator influences), researchers are turning attention to the influence of internal stakeholders (staff members) and external stakeholders (e.g. prospective applicants) on an organisation's sustainability motivations. This study aimed to assess the relationship between green recruitment practices and job pursuit intention and the role of organisational attractiveness and prestige among prospective employees.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses the cross-sectional survey; a sample of 215 students are used to validate the five (5) hypotheses developed from the literature review. To achieve a more plausible regression parameter estimates, the structural equation modelling is the main analytical technique used to analyse the hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that there is a positive effect of green recruitment on organisational attractiveness, organisational prestige, and job pursuit intention. Similarly, organisational attractiveness and organisational prestige serially mediated the relationship between green recruitment and job pursuit intentions.Originality/valueThis study is an addition to the literature on the soft green human resource management practices, specifically green recruitment from the perspective of potential job applicants. In addition, the study uses data from a new and under-researched geographical context, Ghana to contribute and shed light on the topic. Critically, research on sustainable human resource management has been shown to be very limited from the Africa's context. Consequently, the present evidence from the Ghana's perspective responds to the call.
加纳雇主的吸引力和声望对绿色招聘与求职意向之间关系的中介作用
目的虽然组织实施可持续发展原则的对策受到外部压力(如竞争对手的行动、监管机构的影响)的重大影响,但研究人员正将注意力转向内部利益相关者(员工)和外部利益相关者(如潜在求职者)对组织可持续发展动机的影响。本研究旨在评估绿色招聘实践与求职意向之间的关系,以及组织的吸引力和声望在未来员工中的作用。研究采用横截面调查的方法,以 215 名学生为样本,验证文献综述中提出的五(5)个假设。研究结果表明,绿色招聘对组织吸引力、组织声望和求职意向有积极影响。同样,组织吸引力和组织声望对绿色招聘与求职意向之间的关系起到了连续中介作用。此外,本研究还使用了来自加纳这一新的、研究不足的地理环境的数据,以促进和阐明这一主题。重要的是,非洲对可持续人力资源管理的研究非常有限。因此,从加纳的角度提供的证据响应了这一呼吁。
