This paper seeks to examine how green human resource management (GHRM) contributes to the environmental performance (EPF) through employee work-life. Based on a comprehensive literature review on green HRM and EPF, a theoretical model was proposed for investigation in which direct and indirect effects of green HRM (GHRM) on EPF were tested relying on a survey data collected from 356 employees of leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED)-certified companies using structural equation modelling (SEM) methodology. The results evidenced significant mediation effect of work-life in the relationship of GHRM and EPF; however, the mediation via private life could not be supported. Finally, the paper discusses implications of findings for the practitioners and direction for future research.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41539650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has successfully moved from a developing to a newly developed country, and has maintained its economic viability during many global economic crises. Effective governance and management of resources has been a key factor in ensuring national survival. However, its formal democratic processes have been considered limited, especially in terms of public participation. Given that effective governance often presupposes some degree of public participation this paper explores the role of public participation in the management of the environment in Singapore. It aims to identify (i) the availability of information about environmental laws and regulations, environmental issues, environmental conditions and other relevant information regarding environmental management, (ii) opportunities for citizens to provide input and comments about environmental issues and (iii) opportunities for citizens to exchange their ideas with others.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49500709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In total, 851 people employed in various professional sectors (health, education or services) participated in five successive studies. A questionnaire of attachment to objects in the workplace was constructed, based on Scrima's (2015) research and taking a qualitative approach (Study 1). Study 2 revealed that the questionnaire has a unidimensional factor structure, which was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis (Study 3). The questionnaire was shown to have good reliability, as evaluated by its temporal stability over a time span of 3 weeks (Study 4). As expected, we found positive links between the WOAS and the emotional dimensions of the Workplace Attachment Scale, Organizational Commitment Scale and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour scale, and a negative link between workplace object attachment and the intention to leave the organisation (Study 5).","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43604530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the banking industry in the region confronts many challenges, it is essential that banks retain their talent. Hence, this research explored essential elements that could influence job satisfaction and impact employee decisions to stay or leave. A quantitative research design was used on a sample of 250 employees from four GCC countries to explain the relationship between three categories of work environment, human, technical, organisational and job satisfaction. Results indicated that employee work environment has significant positive relationships on job satisfaction level in terms of participation, communication, technology, trust, and management leadership. Office layout and work space were not related to job satisfaction. The study recommended actions for management to improve banks' work environment, which in turn will increase employee satisfaction and reduce turnover in the sector.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66777947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the basis of this statement Travel Demand Management policies have been proposed with the objective of changing travel behaviour and therefore increasing transport systems efficiency. Teleworking has been one of the strategies adopted to reduce the number of peak-period trips thanks to the help of the new technologies. However, the world of business is changing and so are the new workers. Today, the concept of flexible workplaces is gaining more and more ground and professionals are more willing to travel, even with the aim of reducing the stress due to routine. In this respect, the concept of workplaces has changed during the years and transport terminals are supporting this new trend. Indeed, this manuscript deals with this new era of workplaces for a sustainable mobility.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66777903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper compares the relative professionalisation of the waste management sector in the UK against that of Queensland (Australia). Whilst the literature on professionalisation is extensive, there is a growing body of work which questions the parameters required for professionalisation to occur. The size and perceived levels of development of the industry, the supporting measures such as the provision of industry associations, training and academia (including research) are clearly differentiated between these two countries, and whilst existing literature provides the corresponding link to the differences in professionalisation between countries, several factors remain unaccounted for. Whilst this paper identifies the critical elements under which the UK's waste management sector achieved professionalisation. It is concluded that the waste management sector in Queensland will not progress to professionalisation under the same characteristics as those in the UK; rather professionalisation will be achieved under a new model.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJEWE.2016.080445","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66778200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the study developed and validated measurement scales of two novel constructs 'green brand attachment' and 'green brand commitment'. Based on literature review and identified gaps the study proposed an integrated theoretical model. To empirically test the proposed model this study collected data from 318 individual customers of electronics and information technology brands with the help of self-administered questionnaire survey method. The study utilised Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique to statistically analyse measurement and structural models. The model fit indices indicated that proposed theoretical model is good fit with the data used in study. Confirmatory factor analysis depicted that the data has successfully fulfilled the requirements of reliability, convergent validity and discriminative validity. The results of structural model revealed that green brand image plays significant positive role in building green brand trust, green brand attachment and green brand commitment. Additionally, the results indicated that green brand trust partially mediates the relationship of green brand image with green brand attachment and green brand commitment. It is concluded that green brand image is a significant driver in relationship building process. Additionally, it is also established that building green brand relations lead towards environmental sustainability and conservation of resources.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66777772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Management of strikes in public universities in Kenya has been based on a conventional top-down approach which further undermines the greatly needed quality of human and social capital that is responsible for implementing the university mandate towards sustainable development. Results of this study show that the main causes of industrial actions are poor remuneration and offending disparities within and between employee grades in university and other civil service offices – qualifications and the ability to perform, notwithstanding. This calls for radical rationalisation and restructuring of remunerations and staff placement in the entire civil service, based on a combination of earned qualification and competence for prescribed tasks. Overall, a synergistic and people-centred motivational management system stands out as being a critical basis for strike prevention and enhanced quality assurance.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJEWE.2008.022257","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66777333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study involves an empirical examination of the determinants of households labour allocation decisions with respect to three different activities identified as important in the study area; agriculture, forest and non-farm. This was done by estimating a labour share model similar to standard models of commodity or factor demand, such as the Almost Ideal Demand Systems (AIDS) model. Data on household characteristics and key policy parameters directly or indirectly affecting labour allocation decisions were collected between March and May 2007. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a random sample of 140 households. From the findings, it was evident that household members respond positively to wage returns. The positive relationship between the returns to forest use and forest labour share provides a cautionary message for policy-makers and other stakeholders concerned with the fate of the Kakamega forest. In the short term, it seems probable that the returns to forest use will increase as the aggregate demand for forest products rises and supply declines. The study findings suggest that, with improved economic well-being, households become less reliant on forests for their livelihoods. Since reduced forest reliance is positively related with a reduced demand for forest products, these findings suggest a complementary relationship between strategies aimed at poverty alleviation and those aimed towards forest conservation.","PeriodicalId":35410,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJEWE.2008.022256","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66777707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
