Abstract

Green human resource management (GHRM) practices are critical for enhancing sustainability outcomes. Still, literature is scarce on the granularity of how GHRM practices can be promoted to strengthen sustainability linking green dynamic capabilities and employee engagement in the presence of innovative climate. Drawing upon institutional theory, this study investigates the relationship between GHRM practices and sustainability, the mediation effect of green dynamic capabilities and employee engagement, and the moderation effect of innovative climate. This study employed a post-positivism approach and adopted a two-stage method for the selection of population and sampling to collect data through an online survey instrument from 374 respondents working at top, middle, and lower tiers of management positions in the telecom organizations of Pakistan, to test research hypotheses. Findings indicated a positive association between GHRM practices and sustainability and a significant mediation effect of green dynamic capabilities and employee engagement between GHRM practices and sustainability. In addition, the moderation effect of innovative climate is found insignificant on the relationship between GHRM practices and sustainability. Nevertheless, findings suggest that telecom organizations should boost green dynamic capabilities and employee participation to enhance sustainability while integrating GHRM practices in a conducive and innovative environment, to achieve and align with sustainable development initiatives.
