A comprehensive study of green human resource management practices in relation to employee performance and organisation citizenship behaviour among IT professionals in Gurgaon

The compelling call for acting in advance while dealing with expected or unexpected changes in environmental management has now become a global issue. Whether it is to address changes in climate or poverty and unemployment, the fight over the role and potency of critical human resource management principles continuously guides organisations to become even more conscious of uniting environmental, sustainability, and human resource priorities. This research is conducted with the intention to study green human resource management practices and their possible influences on employee green performances and organisational citizenship behaviour particularly in IT professionals in Gurgaon, India. This paper uses a sample of 311 employees (middle and senior level) of five IT companies who completed the survey that used standardised questionnaires. ANOVA and correlation analyses reveal significant relationships among green HRM practices, as well as between these practices and both employee green performance and organisational citizenship behaviour. However, bootstrapping analysis indicates no significant mediating role for organisational citizenship behaviour. Bootstrapping analysis shows the significant role of organisational citizenship behaviour as a mediator. The paper discusses how green HRM practices can be used as a tool towards building a conscious future through business.
