Green HRM practices, employee well-being, and sustainable work behavior: Examining the moderating role of resource commitment

Abstract

This study examines how green human resource management (HRM) practices impact employees' subjective well-being through the mediating mechanism of employees' green behavior (EGB). We further explore the moderating role of resource commitment. Based on a sample of 249 employees and their supervisors working in small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, we discovered that green HRM practices have a positive influence on EGB, and this connection is further reinforced by resource commitment. The analysis also reveals that EGB serves as a mediator in the relationship between green HRM practices and employees' subjective well-being. These findings suggest that green HRM practices affect employees' subjective well-being through EGB. The wider implications of these findings for theory and HRM practitioners are discussed.
