Green Workplace Behaviour in Saudi Arabia: The Case of EnviroCo

Abstract

In order to enhance sustainability in the workplace, recent research has focused on the practices which can promote employees’ green behaviour. However, there is little work that examines the extent to which companies use HRM practices to foster green bahaviour. This study has investigated this issue through a survey conducted in a government agency in Saudi Arabia. Overall, the findings suggest that senior managers are aware of the importance of green workplace behaviour and recognize that a certain number of HRM practices can promote and support this behaviour. However, these practices are not used effectively and senior managers can only marginally foster pro-environmental behaviour in their organization.
