Do Green Human Resource Practices Influence Employee Environmental Performance? The Mediating Effect of Proactive Environmental Management Maturity

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of sustainable practices in human resources on employee environmental performance by exploiting environmental maturity and proactiveness. Ability-motivation-opportunity theory was utilized as the theoretical foundation for this endeavour. Social Exchange Theories provide a significant basis for supporting the framework. Data was gathered from employees working in Pakistani private sector banks within the Punjab district Sahiwal. An organized questionnaire was utilized to collect data, while a self-administered survey was administered to gather information. Three hundred questionnaires were distributed among respondents; 254 could be completed for further analysis; 55 surveys were returned as eligible responses. This study helps human resource professionals better appreciate the role played by proactive environmental management. Studies of the effects of green practices in human resource management on employee environmental performance within the banking industry can play an integral part in making decisions about it. Unfortunately, many human resource managers in Pakistani banks don't fully appreciate how green practices impact employee sustainability in this industry.
