Green Human Resource Management, Green Organisational Citizenship Behaviour and Organisational Sustainability in the Post-Pandemic Era: An Ability Motivation Opportunity and Resource Based View Perspective

Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic increased the usefulness of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices toward achieving organisational sustainability with the moderating effect of non-governmental organisations and labour unions, drawing on the integrated approach using AMO (Ability-Motivation-Opportunity) theory and RBV (Resource-Based View). The data was collected from 371 (depicted using G* power software) managers of manufacturing units in India's Jammu and Kashmir. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis of survey data revealed that the post-COVID-19 era has accelerated the adoption of green HRM practices within an organisation. Additionally, these eco-friendly HRM techniques are closely related to establishing organisational sustainability in the post-COVID-19 era. Further, the findings suggest a significant moderating role of NGOs in shaping and encouraging voluntary pro-environmental behaviours among employees and intend to guide industrial organisations seeking to enhance their environmental performance.
