Green human resource management and employee green behaviors: Proposing a conceptual framework

Abstract

Climate change has become one of the world’s biggest global challenges. This has created a sense of urgency for pro-environmental practices within organizations by taking climate actions. These climate actions are often informed by organizational policies and implemented by the human resource department to foster employee green behaviors and determine the outcomes achieved. This chapter proposes a conceptual framework to explore the relationships between green human resource management (HRM) and employee green behaviors and articulates how organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment can have an impact on the relationship between green HRM practices and employee green behaviors. In addition, the framework suggests some boundary conditions that influence the proposed relationships by examining the potential moderating role of ethical and inclusive leadership as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR).
