Furthermore, the results show that individual green values affect the association between green GHRMP and organizational environmental performance, with the mediation of environmental orientation. resource Limitations The theoretical and methodological constraints always leave room for further inquiry. A convenience sampling strategy is used in current research to acquire data, and it is done all at once. It could take some time to fully realize the impact of green HRM involvement on behavior modification. Future research may take a longitudinal approach or adopt green HRM techniques by examining the adjustments to employee commitments, behaviors, and environmental performance for a better understanding. Recommendations Future research on green HRM should take other methods like green recruiting into consideration, in addition to the three green HRM practices that are already being employed in research, such as green training and engagement and green appraisal.
