Green supply chain management and SMEs environmental performance: green HRM practices as antecedent from service sector of emerging economy

Abstract

PurposeThe research aimed to study the influence of green human resources management practices (GHRMPs) on green supply chain management (GSCM) and environmental performance while examining how those green practices affect environmental performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study investigated 314 cases (responses) from the small and medium-sized enterprises belonging to the service sector from an emergent economy (i.e. Oman). The study model was developed based on the theory of resource-based view and the theory of ability, motivation and opportunity. The structural equation modeling was used for hypotheses testing using SmartPLS 3 software.FindingsBased on the findings, green hiring and green training and innovation have a positive and significant effect on GSCM, while both of them have no effect on environmental performance. Further, green performance management and compensation positively influenced the environmental performance but not GSCM. Furthermore, GSCM significantly and positively influenced environmental performance.Originality/valueGHRMPs and GSCM can enhance environmental performance. Organizations should consider this interesting finding if they aim to reduce their negative environmental effect, conserve energy, prevent pollution and recycle garbage. Despite the fact that the present environment-friendly culture is still in its infancy, it adds uniqueness to this research by investigating the phenomenon's importance.

Predicting Indonesian Consumers’ Intention to Buy Green Cosmetics Using The Modified TPB Framework

“…In regard with this matter, many companies not only tried their best to ensure that the concept of sustainability business can be achieved, but also these companies always try to ensure that all of these responsible activities will be noted and known to the general public, consumers and target (or potential) consumers in order to boost and enhance both the image and the reputation of the companies on people's mind (Beatson et al, 2020;Giantari and Sukaatmadja, 2021). Therefore, companies always try to actively communicate, inform and promote all of these "green" activities to the audiences and consumers using all available marketing platforms in order to relay all of these messages effectively (Aldaas et al, 2022;Basu et al, 2022;Padilla and Collazo, 2022). In this case, all of the efforts spent by the companies in order to effectively promote, communicate and convince consumers and other people regarding all of the responsible, sustainable and eco-friendly business activities performed by these companies were known as green marketing (Martins, 2022;Bhattacharyya, 2022;Anggraeni and Susilowati, 2022;Puttawong and Kunanusorn, 2021).…”
