Unlocking the dual black box of GHRMP & EGOC for sustainable environmental performance in developing economies: can green workplace behavior and green passion transmit the real change?

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, resulting in the emergence of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices. Studies have shown that the implementation of GHRM practices can enhance a company's Environmental Performance (EP) and promote the development of Enablers of Green Organizational Culture (EGOC), which can ultimately lead to sustained improvements in environmental performance over the long term. However, there is still a lack of research on Green Workplace Behavior (GWB) and Green Passion (GP). To address this gap, a study was conducted on a large-scale sample of 308 pharmaceutical workers. The study examined the dual mediation impact of major facilitators of Green Organization Culture and GWB on GHRM, and the regulation of GP. Smart Pls 3.0 was used for analyzing the measurement and structural model. The findings indicate that the dual mediation of EGOC and GWB, along with the regulation of GP, significantly enhances the EP levels of organizations. These findings have significant implications for pharmaceutical company managers who are interested in developing strategic HR strategies for sustainable development. The study's results provide guidance on how managers can motivate their employees to engage in green initiatives in their daily activities, and GHRM practices offer a practical way to enhance EP and sustainable development. However, the contribution of Human Resource Management to sustainable development remains limited in the literature. Therefore, it is important for businesses to recognize the significance of environmental sustainability and adopt GHRM practices to improve their EP levels. The environment and natural resources around the world have been severely impacted by the aggressive growth of human economic expansion, and there is an urgent need for social efforts to address this situation. The adoption of GHRM practices can help businesses to develop specialized skills and enhance their contribution to sustainable development. The literature suggests that GHRM practices are a viable and practical solution to enhance environmental performance and promote sustainable development.
