Abstract

This conceptual study is based on literature reviews related to green human resource management (GHRM), employee empowerment, and pro-environmental behavior (PEB) at the workplace. Business activities in small and medium enterprises or corporations, including agriculture, will impact the ecosphere. The impact suggests the importance for organizations to focus their concerns on PEBs to reduce the negative environmental impact of their ignorance of green practices. Organizations may use GHRM to efficiently provide and execute environmentally friendly policies since it can track and impact employee environmental behavior. The present study aimed to investigate for future research whether employee empowerment mediates the relationship between the GHRM and PEB at the workplace from the perspective of the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) Theory, specifically among agricultural companies in Malaysia. The study continued to explore the concepts, issues, and objectives through several works of literature in numerous areas. This conceptual paper signifies supplementing works of literature as a future reference for academics. The outcome of this study can offer information to agricultural companies on the ways to leverage GHRM and employee empowerment to promote PEB in the workplace.
