Abstract
BACKGROUND: Given the growing issues in environmental management, there is a need to respond to this increasing pressure by implementing the strategy of sustainability like green human resource management. OBJECTIVE: The study focuses on examining the influence of practicing green human resource management activities on environmental performance. The research also explores the interplay of Green HRM, green innovation, and service leadership in influencing environmental performance. METHODS: The technique of SEM analysis was applied to examine the direct and indirect effects. The data was captured from 328 employees of the Indian IT sector. RESULTS: The findings indicated the positive and significant mediating role of green innovation (product and process) between Green HRM and Environmental performance. Servant leadership also moderates their relationship thereby strengthening the positive influence of Green HRM on environmental performance. CONCLUSIONS: The large industries need to upgrade their system to GHRM for embedding green values, culture, and attitudes in the organization. Hiring the employees with environmental consciousness, training, and rewarding them for the promotion of an environmentally friendly culture promote green innovation. These practices with green innovation and servant leadership ensure that green initiatives are instilled in employees for the responsible behavior for positive environmental performance, which is a global need.
期刊介绍:
Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
