Case studies on Impact of Green HRM practices on Organizational performance in Educational Institutions

Abstract

Purpose - A new trend towards performance in the domains of variables in the economy, environment, and society is fostered by the world’s dynamic business environment, where higher education sustainability is at the forefront. Through a fictitious element of the Resource-Based View (RBV), this study seeks to assess how green human resource management (GHRM) practices impact sustainability in the context of higher education in a developing country.

Design/methodology/approach – This study applied a quantitative approach to suggest and test a model based on sustainability predictors. 25 higher education institutions in Odisha received a total of 180 responses. It was calculated to use Smart PLS to create the structural and measurement model.

Findings – According to the results, green training and development (GTD) and top management commitment towards greening workforce (TMCGW) showed a positive correlation with sustainability but green hiring and selection were not. TMCGW must act as a bridge between GTD and sustainability. Employees are encouraged to act sustainably through the GHRM practices as a whole.

Originality/value – A significant gap in the literature is filled by the newly proposed research model, and examining this connection necessitates the development of new theoretical frameworks. In order to fill a research gap, this study looked at how green HRM affects sustainability in the context of higher education in Odisha, a developing country. This study is significant because it employs academic expert’s perspectives to demonstrate how GHRM practices affect sustainability, which improves our comprehension of the expanding global trend towards green mobility.
