Abstract

The importance of a sustainable economy and environmentally friendly practices emerged few years ago. This investigation focuses on the Turkish banking sector, examining the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) on long-term economic sustainability (ES). Four independent variables, green recruitment and selection, green training, green pay & green involvement, and one dependent variable ES are proposed for this study. 50 sample size studied in Turkish banks. It suggests that all scales have good reliability via Cronbach Alpha (0.823-0.876), composite reliability, and item loadings. Four hypotheses were proposed for this study. Regression analysis suggested that green recruitment and selection, green training and green pay have positive effect on ES (P 0.05) in Turkish banks. This research provides complete GHRM practices that will help to increase the sustainability of economic performance and help Human resource managers in large corporations.
