Boosting Employee Eco-Friendly Behaviors and Innovation Through Green HR Practices

Abstract

This empirical research investigates the impacts of green human resource practices (GHRM) on green employee behaviors and green innovation in the United Arab Emirates. A self-administered questionnaire collected employee data from the UAE hospitality sector. Of the 320 surveys sent, 180 were used for statistical analysis. The study found that green performance management (GPM), green employee involvement (GEI), green recruitment and selection (GRS), green compensation and reward (GCR), and green training and development (GTD) all had a positive and significant impact on task-related green behaviors (TRGB), voluntary green behaviors (VGB), and green innovation (GI). This research stands out for three key reasons. First, the research adds to the existing GHRM knowledge. Second, it adds to the sparse GHRM research in the hospitality industry, particularly in the GCC. Last, the results enhance understanding of GHRM strategies, especially in developing nations.
