How does green human resource management foster employees' environmental commitment: A sequential mediation analysis.

ABSTRACT

Drawing on the social identity theory, this study aims to examine the impact of organizational pride and organizational identification as sequential mediators in the association between green HRM and employee environmental commitment. The study extended prior research by incorporating the sequential mediators of organizational pride and organizational identification. The researchers gathered data from 267 employees of telecommunications companies in Pakistan. They used Smart PLS software version 3.0 to carry out partial least squares structural equation modeling to verify the hypotheses. The results indicate that green HRM leads to organizational pride, which, in turn, leads to increased organizational identification and, consequently, enhances environmental commitment. The findings hold significant value to practitioners and HR managers striving to develop HR practices that support sustainability, contribute to a culture of environmental responsibility, and lead to positive green outcomes for employees.
