Analysing Green Human Resource Management In Indian Healthcare: Integrating FDPM And DEMATEL Approaches To Assess Factors Influencing Sustainability Impacts

Abstract

This study delves into the potential benefits of green human resource management (GHRM) in improving sustainability in the Indian healthcare industry, using a sample of 30 human resource managers from hospitals. The research assesses crucial GHRM components such as green performance management, green hiring, green training and development, green compensation, and the development of an eco-friendly organisational culture and employee empowerment, using the fuzzy Delphi method and Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory approaches. The findings reveal that these factors have a hierarchical impact on sustainable practices, with performance management and compensation playing a critical role. The Ability-Motivation-Opportunity theory, which frames the analysis of how GHRM practices enhance employees' competencies, motivation, and opportunities to contribute to environmental goals, provides the theoretical foundation for this analysis. The findings underscore the potential of GHRM in achieving more general sustainability goals and offer healthcare managers valuable insights into prioritising human resource strategies.
