Abstract

Purpose - The study investigates how Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) influences employee green behavior and wellbeing. It specifically explores the impact of organizational-level GHRM on employees' organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment (OCBE) and subjective wellbeing, mediated by psychological contract fulfillment (PCF). The study also examines the moderating effect of environmental orientation fit. Design/methodology/approach - The data were collected from two sources: managers (N = 67) and employees (N = 217) of readymade garment exporting firms in Pakistan. The analysis was conducted using HLM multilevel modeling software. Findings - The findings indicate that PCF acts as a significant mediator in the association between GHRM, OCBE, and employee wellbeing. Furthermore, the results suggest that the positive impact of GHRM on PCF is more pronounced when there is a higher alignment with environmental orientation, compared to when the fit with environmental orientation is low. Originality/value - To the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to explore the impact of organizational-level GHRM on employee-level organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment and their subjective wellbeing, particularly within the context of readymade garments. Furthermore, this research endeavors to offer managers a heightened understanding of the potential role of GHRM in fostering organizational citizenship behavior.
