Abstract

This study aims to understand the role of green human resource management (GHRM) in fostering the environmental performance of employees. Specifically, it examines the impact of GHRM practices on employee green behaviors EGB (In-role and extra-role) with perceived green organizational support (PGOS) as a mediator. This research reports the findings of a questionnaire from 371 employees (188 hotel employees and 183 travel agency employees). This survey consisted of 18 items based on a five-point Likert scale technique ranging from: “strongly disagree” (1); to “strongly agree” (5). The research hypotheses were tested through structural equation modeling (SEM) using analysis of moment structure (AMOS 25). The findings showed that there was a significant effect of GHRM on PGOS. Moreover, GHRM positively affects EGB (in-role and extra-role). There was a significant effect of PGOS on EGB. In addition, PGOS partially mediates the relationship between GHRM and EGB. The study concludes that management should take advantage of green human resource practices to acquire and retain talented employees whose environmental goals and values are consistent with those of the company. Employees should be involved in problem-solving on environmental sustainability and green management. They should also participate in continuous training programs and enhance their awareness of environmental sustainability and green management.
