Empirical Study on the Impact of Select Green HRM Dimensions on Green Innovation Culture

Abstract

In a timeframe marked by intensifying ecological crises, the function of human resource management (HRM) in nurturing an environment-centric innovation ethos is significantly under-researched. This empirical inquiry aims to address this lacuna by investigating the nexus between chosen elements of green human resource management (GHRM) and the culture of green innovation in India's prominent cement manufacturing firms. Adopting a correlational research approach and making use of statistical methodologies like partial least squares (PLS), the study reveals a noteworthy positive linkage between green recruitment and selection (GRS), green training and development (GTD), and green performance appraisal (GPA) with green innovation culture (GIC). These insights add valuable dimensions to both the theoretical understanding and practical applications of HRM and sustainability, more so within the Indian cement industry.
