Sustainability Through Green HRM and Performance Integration

For organizations wanting to balance economic success with environmental management, sustainability and green human resource management (HRM) plays a pivotal role. By aligning HR practices with sustainable development goals, companies can create a culture that prioritizes eco-friendly initiatives and responsible resource management. This approach enhances employee engagement and retention while driving organizational performance by promoting sustainable practices throughout the workforce. As businesses recognize the importance of their environmental impact, integrating green HRM into their strategies is necessary to achieve long-term sustainability and competitive advantage in an eco-conscious marketplace. Sustainability Through Green HRM and Performance Integration investigates the relationship between environmental performance and a green high-performance work system (GPWS), specifically focusing on the influence of green ambidexterity and mediating elements such as social, environmental, and corporate governance issues. This book covers topics such as sustainable development, employee engagement, and digital technology, and is a useful resource for human resource professionals, environmental scientists, business owners, computer engineers, academicians, and researchers.
