Abstract

Numerous studies have established a strong relationship between green human resource management (GHRM) and pro-environmental behaviour (PEB). This research explores how green innovation (GI) and environmental strategy (ESTR) can enhance the relationship between GHRM and PEB, specifically within the automobile sector of emerging economies. To check the impact of mediator GI and the moderation mechanism of ESTR in the suggested model, we gathered data from the Pakistan automobile sector using convenience sampling and analysed it through structural equation modelling. Our data collection process received 306 responses out of 344 employees, representing an impressive 88% response rate. The results indicate that GHRM plays a pivotal role in shaping PEB. GI also plays a mediating role in the relationship between GHRM and PEB. Moreover, ESTR moderates the relationship between GI and PEB. The present study's findings emphasise that the presence and effective implementation of GHRM practices are positively correlated with employees' PEB. When companies actively encourage their workforce to GI to improve the environment, employees are more likely to adopt green behaviours such as PEBs. Our research highlights the potential role of GI and ESTR in helping to promote PEB. When companies adopt GI and comprehensive ESTRs in response to GHRM practices, they signal a commitment to environmental sustainability, which can inspire employees to align their behaviours with these values. The limitations and future directions that need to be addressed are given.

通过绿色人力资源管理和绿色创新考察亲环境行为在环境战略中的调节作用

许多研究已经建立了绿色人力资源管理（GHRM）和亲环境行为（PEB）之间的密切关系。本研究探讨了绿色创新（GI）和环境战略（ESTR）如何增强GHRM和PEB之间的关系，特别是在新兴经济体的汽车行业。为了检验中介GI的影响和ESTR在建议模型中的调节机制，我们采用方便抽样的方法收集了巴基斯坦汽车行业的数据，并通过结构方程模型进行了分析。我们的数据收集过程收到了344名员工中的306份回复，回复率达到了令人印象深刻的88%。结果表明，GHRM在PEB的形成中起着关键作用。GI在GHRM与PEB的关系中也起中介作用。ESTR对GI和PEB之间的关系具有调节作用。本研究的结果强调GHRM实践的存在和有效实施与员工的PEB呈正相关。当公司积极鼓励员工以GI改善环境时，员工更有可能采取环保行为，如peb。我们的研究强调了GI和ESTR在帮助促进PEB中的潜在作用。当公司采用GI和全面的estr来应对GHRM实践时，它们表明了对环境可持续性的承诺，这可以激励员工将他们的行为与这些价值观保持一致。给出了需要解决的限制和未来的方向。
