Green Human Resource Management Practices and Its Impact on Environmental Sustainability: Study of Private Higher Education Institutions in Karachi

Abstract

In the modern world, GHRM is one of the most crucial elements in planning ahead for your environmentally friendly business. According to the majority of experts, in order for employees to implement GHRM practices, they must be empowered and environmentally conscious. The current study looks at how various green human resource management techniques affect ecological behavior, through pro environmental conduct. The data is gathered from Karachi’s Academic institutions using questionnaires. 384 employees of private universities make up the sample size. To discover the correlations between the variables, a struc[1]ture equation modeling technique is used. The findings indicate that GHRM practices have significant impact on environmental sustainability, while green environmental training has an indirect association with environmental sustainability through a mediator known as pro environmental behavior. The findings reveal that environmental sustainability is positively impacted by green performance management and appraisal (=0.27), green reward and compensation (=0.14), and green reward and compensation (=0.27), all of which are significant. Additionally, Green Training & Development exhibits a positive link (r=0.29) that is both significant and favorable. The findings imply that GHRM increases environmental sustainability. According to the report, private sector universities should provide employee training and compensation to help them prevent environmental degradation and contribute to the sustainability of the environment.
