Abstract

As healthcare institutions face increasing environmental challenges, the integration of sustainable practices has become a critical imperative. This study explores the intersection of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices and the work values of healthcare managers within healthcare organizations. The study aims to assess healthcare managers' perception about green human resources practices and its relation with work values. Research Design: Descriptive correlational research design was used. Setting: King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) was the first educational hospital in Saudi Arabia and one of university hospitals affiliated to college of medicine in KSU. Sample: Convenience sample of all healthcare managers (n=95) who were working in study setting during the period of data collection. Stud[1]y tools: Three tools; personal data, Green Human Resource Management Practices Scale, and Work Value Questionnaires were used to collect data needed for the current study. Results: Study findings denote that, a high percent of healthcare managers exhibited "low" responses toward GHRMP dimensions. Moreover, more than two-thirds of healthcare managers had exhibited low level regarding work values. Conclusion: The study participants have statistically significant positive correlations between total Green Human Resource Management Practices with total work values. Recommendations: Using green performance indicators in the evaluation and performance management system and defining responsibilities and goals in green for healthcare managers with some green results included in the evaluations.
