A Mediation Study of Green Human Capital: The Effect of GHRM Practices in Organizational Commitment

Abstract

In the literature review, there are just the few studies that have attempted to examine the relationship with green human resource management (GHRM) and commitment to the organization. Furthermore, the mediating role of green Intellectual capital in the literature has rarely been examined. As a result, the current study aims to fill a research gap by expanding the GHRM to determine the indirect and direct influence of GHRM on education sectors in Pakistan, which has been overlooked so far anyway. Through a self-administered survey, data was taken from 287 respondents using a convenience sampling technique. The structural and measurement model were evaluated using Smart PLS (3.2.9) software. The findings show that green recruiting and selection, as well as green training and development, have a direct impact on organizational commitment. Green human capital also plays an important role in balancing the effects of green recruiting, selection, training, and development on organizational commitment. According to the research, GHRM policies are critical in the implementation of an environmental policy aiming at fostering green practices. The study offers policymakers and managers guidance on how to use GHRM to improve environmental culture and employee green behavior in the workplace.
