Abstract

This study explores the influence of Green Human Resource Management Strategy (GHRMS) on supply chain environmental sustainability in manufacturing SMEs, emphasising the mediating role of green dynamic capability and the moderating effect of institutional networking capability. Quantitative data was gathered from 263 owners and managers in Ghana's manufacturing sector. The Covariant-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) approach within Amos (v.23) was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings revealed that GHRMS significantly enhances supply chain environmental sustainability by fostering eco-conscious HR practices. Green dynamic capability partially mediates this relationship, enabling firms to develop and adapt sustainable competencies. Additionally, institutional networking capability strengthens the indirect effect of GHRMS on supply chain sustainability, demonstrating the crucial role of external networks in achieving environmental goals. These findings underscore the importance of both internal organisational capabilities and external collaborations in driving sustainable supply chain practices in emerging economies. This study provides strategic insights for firms aiming to integrate GHRMS into their environmental sustainability initiatives, fostering a greener and more resilient supply chain ecosystem.

机构网络能力作为加纳制造业可持续供应链的催化剂：绿色人力资源管理战略和绿色动态能力的作用

本研究探讨了绿色人力资源管理战略（GHRMS）对制造业中小企业供应链环境可持续性的影响，强调绿色动态能力的中介作用和制度网络能力的调节作用。从加纳制造业的263名业主和经理那里收集了定量数据。采用Amos （v.23）中基于协变量的结构方程建模（CB-SEM）方法来检验提出的假设。研究结果表明，GHRMS通过培养具有生态意识的人力资源实践，显著提高了供应链的环境可持续性。绿色动态能力部分地中介了这种关系，使企业能够发展和适应可持续能力。此外，机构网络能力增强了GHRMS对供应链可持续性的间接影响，证明了外部网络在实现环境目标方面的关键作用。这些发现强调了内部组织能力和外部合作在推动新兴经济体可持续供应链实践中的重要性。本研究为旨在将GHRMS纳入其环境可持续性举措的公司提供了战略见解，以培育更绿色、更有弹性的供应链生态系统。
