Abstract

This article explores the role of green human resource management in achieving workplace goals in environmental sustainability when employees perceive their organization is environmentally concerned. Using conditional process analysis (n = 221), our study findings reveal that the positive effect of green performance management and green training on individual environmental performance is conveyed by perceived organizational support for the environment, whereas the effect of green employee involvement is not. Interestingly, our findings also show that the effects of green employee involvement, green training and green performance management are all conveyed by perceived organizational support for the environment only when employees display high satisfaction with organizational environmental engagement. Implications for practitioners arising are that some employees may be sensitive to organizational efforts aimed at achieving environmental sustainability even when not all organizational green human resource management practices are identified as pathways to individual employee environmental performance. We close by detailing some study limitations and ideas for future research arising from our study.
