The Impact of Green Human Resource Management on Green Innovation in Vietnamese Small and Medium Enterprises

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to investigate into how Green Innovation (GI) is affected by Green Human Resource Management (GHRM); the mediating role of Green Intellectual Capital (GIC) and the moderating role of top management's perception on the relationship between GHRM and GI. Data were collected from 222 leaders working at Vietnamese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ho Chi Minh City. The results of PLS analysis showed that GHRM strongly influences GIC. GIC and GHRM have an impact on GI. Finally, the relationship between GHRM and GI is mediated by GIC and moderated by top management's perception. These findings provide new insights into the factors influencing GI, contributing managerial implications to achieve sustainable development goals.
