Green Human Resource Management in the Spanish Wine Industry

Abstract

The objective of this research is to assess the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) on the economic, social, and ecological outcomes within Spanish wineries. To analyze the cause-and-effect dynamics accurately, variables such as the winery's age, size, and protected designation of origin (PDO) status were included as controls. A theoretical model was constructed and assessed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The data for this evaluation was sourced from a survey of 196 wineries in Spain, conducted over the period from September 2022 to January 2023. The results underscore a meaningful and positive association between the implementation of GHRM practices and improved performance metrics across the three categories, specifically in the Spanish wine industry context.
