Examining the Nexus among Green HRM Practices, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Employee Pro-environmental Behavior

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between green human resource management practices (GHRM), and employee pro-environmental behavior (EPB) has been relatively underexplored in academic literature. This empirical study evaluates the relationship between GHRM and EPB, while recognizing the mediating influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The independent variable, GHRM, was subdivided into four components: 'green recruitment,' 'green appraisal,' 'green training,' and 'green compensation.' The research provides valuable information for firms aiming to enhance their workforce's pro-environmental behavior. This study used partial least square structural equation modeling to evaluate the perspectives of front-line bank employees in Bangladesh. The results highlight that proficient administration of green compensation, green appraisal, and green recruitment substantially improves CSR practices, hence favorably influencing EPB. This research anticipates that the results will be beneficial for future studies examining the influence of GHRM practices on generating good outcomes from employee EPB via the perception of CSR within the industrial sector. Moreover, this study initiative may assist the organization's officials incentivizing workers to engage in favorable pro-environmental behaviors
