Green human resource practices for individual environmental performance: A meta-review

Abstract

The field of green human resource management is a discreet but paradoxically very dynamic research topic. While many literature reviews have been published in recent years, none have explicitly addressed the links with environmental performance. This paper aims to fill this gap. An analysis of the literature indicates that compared to other practices associated with recruitment, rewards, or even performance evaluation, environmental training practices are the most commonly used. Analysis of the selected corpus shows that the effect of sustainable human resource management practices on environmental performance is mediated by several attitudinal, cognitive and conative variables. An integrative model is proposed to connect the different variables. The paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of the study for the links between sustainable human resource management practices and individual environmental performance.
