Abstract

The relevance of environmental activities has increased both in research and practice. Yet, there is only little systematic insight into such activities of firms, particularly regarding human resource management aspects. This study improves the empirical knowledge for the manufacturing sector, by exploring the incidence of environmental activities and by analysing the determinants of their use, particularly in terms of the incidence of environmental training activities for employees. Besides this, consequences of the incidence are analysed in terms of benefits for job satisfaction and employee retention/recruitment.
