Abstract

Purpose This study sought to determine the role of green human resource management (GHRM) in fostering employees' environmental performance (ENVP). This study aims to advance knowledge related to the role of firms’ GHRM activities in cultivating eco-responsible behaviors among employees, considering green innovation (GI) as a mediator. Design/methodology/approach For this study, data of 579 respondents were collected from employees working in the manufacturing industry in India. In all, 579 employees from the manufacturing sector in India participated in the study. The proposed model was tested using SMART PLS 3.3. Findings The findings of this study stated that GHRM was found significantly to predict ENVP in the Indian manufacturing industry, and GI exhibited partial mediation. This study emphasizes that GHRM activities carried out by firms encourage employees to engage in innovation to develop green products and find novel green operation processes to improve firms’ ENVP. Research limitations/implications As this study is limited to manufacturing organizations in India, the results of this study cannot be generalized; future studies may examine the proposed model in different contexts to generalize findings. Originality/value This study encourages policymakers to devise laws to enable organizations to implement GHRM practices. This study contributes to the existing literature on the environmental aspects of corporate social responsibility and environmental management. This study is one of the few attempts that seek to assess the relationship between GHRM, ENVP and GI in the Indian manufacturing industry. The contribution of this paper is significant to limit GHRM literature, as it empirically investigates the association between GHRM and ENVP.
绿色人力资源管理与环境绩效:绿色创新的中介作用——来自新兴国家的研究
目的探讨绿色人力资源管理(GHRM)在促进员工环境绩效(ENVP)中的作用。本研究以绿色创新为中介,探讨企业GHRM活动在培养员工生态责任行为中的作用。设计/方法/方法在这项研究中,从印度制造业的员工中收集了579名受访者的数据。总共有579名来自印度制造业的员工参与了这项研究。采用SMART PLS 3.3对提出的模型进行检验。研究结果表明,GHRM对印度制造业ENVP具有显著的预测作用,GI具有部分中介作用。本研究强调,企业开展的GHRM活动鼓励员工参与创新,开发绿色产品,寻找新的绿色运营流程,以提高企业的ENVP。研究局限性/意义由于本研究仅限于印度的制造业组织,因此本研究的结果不能推广;未来的研究可能会在不同的背景下检验所提出的模型,以概括研究结果。原创性/价值本研究鼓励决策者制定法律,使组织能够实施GHRM实践。本研究对现有关于企业社会责任和环境管理的环境方面的文献有所贡献。本研究是试图评估印度制造业GHRM、ENVP和GI之间关系的少数尝试之一。本文的贡献对于限制GHRM文献具有重要意义,因为它实证地研究了GHRM与ENVP之间的关系。
