Purpose

This study sought to determine the role of green human resource management (GHRM) in fostering employees' environmental performance (ENVP). This study aims to advance knowledge related to the role of firms’ GHRM activities in cultivating eco-responsible behaviors among employees, considering green innovation (GI) as a mediator.

Design/methodology/approach

For this study, data of 579 respondents were collected from employees working in the manufacturing industry in India. In all, 579 employees from the manufacturing sector in India participated in the study. The proposed model was tested using SMART PLS 3.3.

Findings

The findings of this study stated that GHRM was found significantly to predict ENVP in the Indian manufacturing industry, and GI exhibited partial mediation. This study emphasizes that GHRM activities carried out by firms encourage employees to engage in innovation to develop green products and find novel green operation processes to improve firms’ ENVP.

Research limitations/implications

As this study is limited to manufacturing organizations in India, the results of this study cannot be generalized; future studies may examine the proposed model in different contexts to generalize findings.

Originality/value

This study encourages policymakers to devise laws to enable organizations to implement GHRM practices. This study contributes to the existing literature on the environmental aspects of corporate social responsibility and environmental management. This study is one of the few attempts that seek to assess the relationship between GHRM, ENVP and GI in the Indian manufacturing industry. The contribution of this paper is significant to limit GHRM literature, as it empirically investigates the association between GHRM and ENVP.

绿色人力资源管理与环境绩效：绿色创新的中介作用——来自新兴国家的研究

目的

本研究旨在确定绿色人力资源管理（GHRM）在培养员工环境绩效（ENVP）方面的作用。本研究旨在以绿色创新（GI）作为中介，增进对企业 GHRM 活动在培养员工生态责任行为方面的作用的认识。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究收集了 579 名印度制造业员工的受访者数据。印度制造业共有 579 名员工参与了这项研究。使用 SMART PLS 3.3 测试了所提出的模型。

发现

这项研究的结果表明，GHRM 对印度制造业的 ENVP 具有显着预测作用，而 GI 则表现出部分中介作用。本研究强调，企业开展的GHRM活动鼓励员工参与创新，开发绿色产品，寻找新颖的绿色运营流程，以提高企业的ENVP。

研究局限性/影响

由于本研究仅限于印度的制造组织，因此本研究的结果不能一概而论；未来的研究可能会在不同的背景下检验所提出的模型，以概括研究结果。

原创性/价值

这项研究鼓励政策制定者制定法律，使组织能够实施 GHRM 实践。这项研究对企业社会责任和环境管理的环境方面的现有文献做出了贡献。这项研究是旨在评估印度制造业中 GHRM、ENVP 和 GI 之间关系的少数尝试之一。本文的贡献对于限制 GHRM 文献具有重要意义，因为它实证研究了 GHRM 和 ENVP 之间的关联。
