Green Human Resource Management, Green Organizational Culture, and Environmental Performance: An Empirical Study

Abstract

Ethical companies must balance their financial, social and environmental performance. The process of applying HR management objectives to environmental management is called Green Human Resource Management (GHRM). Research on GHRM and environmental performance in Indonesia is still limited in number, especially in South Sumatra. Based on the Environmental Quality Index reported by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, in 2016 South Sumatra was 16th national ranked, but slipped to 20th national ranked in 2017. This phenomenon is the basis of why this research carried out in South Sumatra, especially in Palembang as the capital of South Sumatra. This study aims to analyze the effect of GHRM, which consists of Green Recruitment and Selection (GRS), Green Training (GTR), and Green Compensation (GCO), directly on environmental performance (EP) and indirectly through green organizational culture (GOC) at state hospitals of Palembang. The population in this study were 2,270 employees at state hospitals in Palembang. By using the Slovin formula and proportional stratified random sampling method, a total sample of 146 people was obtained. The results showed that there were positive effects of all GHRM variables consisting of GRS, GTR, and GCO on GOC and EP. The results of this study also show that there is an indirect influence between GRS and GCO on EP through GOC, while GTR does not have an indirect influence on EP through GOC as an intervening variable. Other results show that there are positive GOC influences on the EP.

Green Organizational Culture and Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Green Innovation and Environmental Performance

“…H2. The findings supported Hadjri et al (2019) and Hardika et al (2019) studies which emphasized that green organizational culture is positively linked to environmental performance. The relationship of green organization culture on green innovation that is H3 was supported.…”

“…Wang (2019) found that green organizational culture strongly predicts environmental performance across 321 Taiwanese manufacturers from various industries. Hadjri et al (2019) and Hardika et al (2019) showed that green organizational culture is positively linked to environmental performance in Indonesian research. Manufacturing companies that want to improve their environmental performance should try to create a learning environment inside their "four walls" to quickly adjust to changing environmental factors (Afum et al, 2020).…”

“…Given that Malaysia is a developing country, there is a lack of literature examining these relationships (Kraus et al, 2020). The researcher believes that green innovation, green organizational culture, and environmental performance are key factors contributing to a country's economy (Singh et al, 2016;Hadjri et al, 2019;Harris et al, 2021). Green innovation and environmental performance were also evaluated as a mediator between green organizational culture and overall organizational performance in this study, which was conducted in the Malaysian context.…”
