Abstract

Tourism and hospitality industry has been playing a very important role in recent years in increasing the Indian economic growth. Currently, the big push provided by the Government of India to revitalize tourism industry in our country opens up immense opportunities. Today, there is a high potential to upgrade the practice of green human resource (HR) culture whereby aspects such as employee empowerment, employee motivation, training and development, spirituality, sustainability, and ethical business practices are paramount. Employees are focusing on fostering camaraderie and collegiality through workplace spirituality and organizational engagement, which is supported by Green HR-based policies and procedures. This research is based on primary and secondary data along with case study interpretation. This research paper concludes that green human resource practices (GHRP) enhance the organizational citizenship behavior of employees leading to sustainability and inclusiveness.
