Go Green, Stay Happy: Unlocking Employee Satisfaction Through Green Human Resource Management
Tóm tắt:
In response to growing environmental concerns, organizations are increasingly adopting sustainable practices, including Green Human Resource Management (GHRM). This study investigates the impact of GHRM on employee job satisfaction within the Vietnamese context. Drawing on survey data from 165 employees across five companies implementing GHRM initiatives, the research examines five key dimensions: green recruitment, green training and development, green performance management and appraisal, green reward and compensation, and green employee empowerment. Using SmartPLS for data analysis, the findings reveal that all five GHRM practices positively influence employee job satisfaction. These results underscore the strategic importance of integrating environmental sustainability into HRM frameworks and offer practical implications for managers seeking to enhance employee satisfaction while advancing organizational sustainability goals. This study employed a small sample size in Vietnam, which limits the generalizability of the findings, and since GHRM has so far focused only on five core elements, further research is needed to expand its scope.
