Impact of Green HR Practices on Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour for Environment

Abstract

Industrial activities produce environmental problems which directly affect the local communities together with the governing authorities and regulatory organizations. Business organizations need active engagement through their human resource practices to deal with current workplace concerns. Research explores how Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) practices drive organizational performance in Pakistani fertilizer companies by using Organizational Citizenship Behavior for Environment (OCBE) as a performance enhancer. This research seeks to determine the relationship between GHRM practices and their influence on OCBE which results in better organizational performance. The research investigates seven GHRM dimensions including green job analysis and design and green recruitment and selection as well as green training and development and performance management and green compensation management with focus on green health and safety and green labor relations and involvement. This research used an analytical survey questionnaire to obtain information from 245 company employees working at fertilizer businesses in Pakistan. The research used convenience sampling methods to determine the participant sample. Researchers used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and SmartPLS software to analyze SEM-PLS together with factor analysis and descriptive statistics and reliability testing and correlation analysis. Research shows green job analysis and design practices produce a moderately strong positive relationship with OCBE which establishes their fundamental nature in building employee environmental responsibility. The six dimensions comprising green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management, green compensation management, green health and safety and green labor relations produced smaller yet meaningful positive relationships with OCBE. Organizations need to use GHRM practices strategically to drive employee environmental initiatives because this type of integration leads to improved organizational performance. The investigation ends by presenting useful recommendations for Pakistani fertilizer entities to utilize OCBE for attaining maximum advantages from green HR practices.
