95 pages, 12 tables, 3 figures, 68 references. The research explores the effects of green human resource management on employee performance, and the mediating effect of employee engagement, motivation, and organisational commitment. Due to the increase in environmental threats in the world, corporate social responsibility practices are being embraced in the world of business more and more. Green recruitment, training and performance management are all green human resource management practices that strive to ensure that employee behaviours are developed towards the sustainability goals, as part of the success of the organisation and the environment. This study assumes that green human resource management improves the performance of employees through engagement, motivation and commitment, which, in other words, leads to job performance. The results indicate that green human resource management practices have a good impact on employee engagement, motivation and organisational commitment. When employees are engaged and related to the sustainability goals of their organisation, they perform better. The participation is central to the mediation of the relationship between green human resource management and employee performance. Motivation, particularly intrinsic or extrinsic, also boosts the effectiveness of green human resource management practices on performance. Emotional attachment to work, which comes as a result of organisational commitment, especially the affective commitment, enhances further performance improvements. The study points out that leadership support, organisational culture and authenticity of sustainability practices form the basis of the effectiveness of green human resource management. The study highlights the relevance of integrating green human resource management practices with organisational values and having genuine leadership dedication to sustainability in the pursuit of ensuring the full benefits of a positive effect on employee performance. The findings add to the existing literature on the correlation between human resource management and sustainability, and provide a practical meaning to organisations that may aim to increase employee performance by adopting green human resource management practices. |
