Unveiling connection among green HRM, green creativity, and organisational citizenship behaviour towards environment in oil and gas sector

A widely considered notion that green practices lead to green behaviours has often been studied with disregard to the individual disposition to change. In an attempt to explore individual's resistance to change, this study categorically sketches the ability motivation opportunity theory and resource-based perspective to evaluate how resistance to change moderates the link between green human resource management (GHRM), green creativity and organisational citizenship behaviour for the environment (OCBE). The authors collected 271 employee's data using questionnaire survey by employing purposive sampling method. The results through structural equation modelling showed that resistance to change weakens the association between GHRM, green creativity and OCBE. The results indicate that GHRM and green creativity have a positive effect on OCBE. The research framework contributes to the proceeding GHRM literature strives to explore its impact on employee green creativity and OCBE in the presence of the moderating variable; resistance to change. The moderating role of resistance to change in the GHRM-employee outcome relationship is a novel contribution.
