Abstract
The significance of firm environmental performance (FEP) has been recognized by academic experts. Nevertheless, a comprehensive exploration of the driving factors behind it remains lacking. In order to bridge this gap, this study employs the perspective of the Triple Bottom Line theory and explores the influence of senior management sustainability commitment (SMSC) and green human resource management practices (GHRMP) on FEP. Furthermore, the study explores the direct and mediating role of GHRMP on the SMSC–FEP relationship. The moderation role of environmental knowledge and green organizational culture was also explored. A questionnaire with closed‐ended questions was sent online to 321 manufacturing companies, followed by analysis using SmartPLS 4.0. The results of this study indicate that SMSC has a significant influence on both GHRMP and FEP. Elucidation is provided in the discourse relating to the theoretical and practical contribution. Additionally, the limitations and potential for further inquiry are specified.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
