From Green HRM to Environmental Performance: How Employee Engagement Mediates the Relationship

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices and Environmental Performance (EP), emphasizing the mediating role of Employee Engagement (EE). A quantitative methodology, using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), adopted for hypothesis testing. Data has sourced from Sami Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd. using purposive sampling. Out of 200 distributed questionnaires, 150 have completed, with 120 valid responses after data cleaning. The findings reveal a robust connection between GHRM practices and increased EE, suggesting that engaged employees contribute positively to EP. However, GHRM's direct influence on EP has found to be statistically insignificant. Nonetheless, EE significantly mediates the relationship between GHRM and EP, underscoring the importance of adopting GHRM practices that enhance EE to improve environmental outcomes. This study offers theoretical insights and practical recommendations for policymakers and managers aiming to achieve sustainable environmental performance.
