Recently Human Resources Management (HRM) functions such as recruitment, selection, training and performance evaluation are expected in considering environmental management (EM) issues. Environmental protective acts with adequate ecological knowledge and socioeconomic behavior and skills are referred to in this paper as green competencies. However, a systematic approach for developing and understanding key factors that enhance individuals' green competencies is lacking. This study contributes to green human resource literature by integrating environmental consumer behavior literature with traditional skills and competencies literature to help firms to select the right individuals to achieve their environmental goals. Using Robert's competencies framework and structural equation modeling (SEM), this paper empirically examines the influence of individual green competencies on organizations' green practices and performance objectives. Our model is tested using a sample of 1,230 employees working in key industries in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo. The results indicate that acquired green competencies are more positively associated with individuals' green competencies and green behavior. The study empirically demonstrates that verifying acquired green competence attributes such as environmental knowledge, green purchase attitude and intention during employee selection would certainly be helpful for firms to identify individual green performance potential.

Green marketing has evolved in line with an increase in consumers' concern with the environment. This study explores whether an environmentally-oriented market niche exists within the airline transport market in Taiwan. Based on a survey of 416 airline customers, this study uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to segment customers based on their environmental behaviors. Three distinct clusters were identified (i.e., the environmentally indifferent, the enlightened environmentalists, and the active environmentalists) and further profiled with respect to the socio-demographic, behavioral, and attitudinal characteristics. The results suggest that the segment of green consumers is large enough to warrant airline marketers' attention and the enlightened and the active environmentalists appear to represent the most promising target markets. The practical implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed.
