“…As the research conducted by Zibarras and Coan (2015) has shown, HR training is in the first place on the list of practices considered to be the most effective in shaping employees’ pro-environmental behavior. As Cabral and Lochan Dhar (2019) confirmed in their study, green training has a positive impact on enhancing green knowledge and skills. HR training has a positive influence not only on individual performance, but also on employees’ collective organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment ( Pinzone et al., 2016 ) and team creativity ( Ogbeibu et al., 2020 ).…”

“…As confirmed in many studies ( Jackson and Seo, 2010 , Zibarras and Coan, 2015 , Pinzone et al., 2016 , Cabral and Lochan Dhar, 2019 , Lopes de Sousa Jabbour et al., 2020 ), green training has a positive impact on enhancing green awareness and pro-environmental behavior. As Table 3 shows, training on environmental issues is most often provided in very large companies.…”

The concept of sustainability has been gaining importance and influencing the development of an approach towards employees referred to as sustainable HRM (SHRM). HR development is one of the principles of SHRM that should be implemented consistently along with other SHRM principles, which means, e.g., that the development of employees should be carried out having a long-term perspective in mind. It is crucial to acquire the so-called competencies of the future as the basis for implementing the idea of Industry 4.0. The purpose of the article is to present the development of human potential in an organization against the background of other detailed sustainable HRM principles, to be followed by confronting the theory and the research results on the development of future competencies referring to industrial engineers in Poland as the professional group responsible for implementing the idea of cleaner production and Industry 4.0. The Author analyzed the results of three research projects based on the survey method and representative data from Eurostat and Statistics Poland. The conducted research shows that industrial companies in Poland have more of a short-sighted perspective when it comes to developing the potential of their engineers. The HR development practices focusing only on current needs are not in line with the SHRM principles of a long-term perspective and flexibility. There is also a visible lack of employee participation in the process of making training-related decisions, which is another principle of sustainable HRM. In addition, environmental sustainability remains a neglected area of knowledge in terms of training, and the cooperation with external educational institutions is low. It results in certain implications for HR managers and educational institutions. The article also presents directions for further research.

“…It is also not clear as to the more effective, age-appropriate methodological and content approaches to teaching and learning within the lifelong learning context. Furthermore, the importance of awareness and skills, but an active behavioural pattern for applying these skills, has been recognised (Cabral and Dhar 2019). This also means exploring how intentional and conative qualities develop the shaping of patterns of actual behaviour in any field of competence, i.e., understanding how to develop the competence enabling the implementation of competencies, even though it is not clear, as yet, how to achieve active (entrepreneurial) behaviours and attitudes.…”

Associated with global climate agreements and the European Union’s focus on climate-neutral goals by 2050, the development of Green Transformation competencies in society has become topical. This viewpoint paper proposes a conceptual model for applying Entrepreneurship Education (EE) to designing an integrated transdisciplinary, Green Transformation Competence framework. In line with this, EE is seen as a tool for developing an active, informed, responsible, yet sustainable, living ecosystem-oriented and green orientation of citizens in the education system. Nevertheless, this viewpoint recognises several challenges for further research.

“…Current literature on green human resource management considers green competencies as a vital obligation for organization to attain environmental performance. Cabral and Dhar (2019) deliver new vision in theory and practice related to an essential GHRM necessity in the organization, i.e., green competencies. The study also comes up with an effective model that fits in the construction of green training and its direct effect on green competencies, which agrees with the theory of the Natural-Resource Based-View.…”

“…Nowadays environmentalism is being paid a lot of attention by the Department of Human Resources because it has been found that it carries a huge potential in achieving environmental goals. The environmental management aspects have been integrated with Human Resources Management practices, due to which Human Resource Management was named to Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) (Cabral and Dhar, 2019).…”
