Abstract

This study aims to explore how green human resource management enhances employees' pro-environmental behavior via the mediating role of corporate environmental strategy and green psychological climate. Moreover, the moderating effect of environmental consciousness is examined which is almost ignored in the prior studies. Quantitative research methods were used and data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 161 employees in the health sector of Punjab, Pakistan. PLS-SEM was used to conduct analysis. The findings highlight that corporate environmental strategy and green psychological climate mediate the relationship between green human resource management and pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, various HR practices cast more impact on the corporate environmental strategy than others. The highly significant GHRM practices can be focused more on for a better environmentally-conscious workforce. The study provides valuable insight to academicians and practitioners. The healthcare sector of developing countries can channelize their limited resources on the significant green human resource practices that will lead to increasing employees’ pro-environmental behavior.

培养医疗机构的环保行为：心理和战略因素的实证分析

本研究旨在探讨绿色人力资源管理如何通过企业环境战略和绿色心理气候的中介作用提升员工的亲环境行为。此外，本文还考察了环境意识的调节作用，这一作用在以往的研究中几乎被忽视。采用了定量研究方法，并使用结构化问卷从巴基斯坦旁遮普省卫生部门的161名雇员中收集数据。采用PLS-SEM进行分析。研究发现，企业环境战略和绿色心理气候在绿色人力资源管理与亲环境行为之间起中介作用。此外，各种人力资源实践对企业环境战略的影响比其他实践更大。可以更多地关注高度重要的GHRM实践，以培养更有环保意识的员工。该研究为学者和从业者提供了宝贵的见解。发展中国家的医疗保健部门可以将其有限的资源用于重要的绿色人力资源实践，这将导致增加员工的亲环境行为。
