The Impact of Green Human Resource Management Practices on Company Sustainability Performance

Abstract

As environmental concerns continue to shape business strategies, Green HRM involves incorporating environmentally sustainable practices within HRM functions, such as recruitment, training, development, performance management, and employee engagement, aimed at enhancing an organization’s sustainability. The study aims to explore how Green HRM contributes to organizational sustainability performance, including environmental efficiency, waste reduction, and resource conservation. A mixed-method research design was employed, combining qualitative interviews with HR professionals and quantitative surveys distributed to employees across various sectors. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between Green HRM practices and organizational sustainability performance. Specifically, companies that implement green recruitment and selection strategies, environmentally-focused training programs, and green performance management practices report improved environmental outcomes. Additionally, organizations with strong green HRM systems show a higher level of employee engagement in sustainability practices, leading to more effective environmental initiatives. The study emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt integrated Green HRM strategies as a key enabler of sustainable business practices and competitive advantage. The findings suggest that HR departments play a crucial role in driving sustainability within companies, thereby contributing to both environmental and organizational goals.
