Green Human Resource Management and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour: Evidence From Textile Industry of Bangladesh

The integration of environmentally friendly practices into human resource strategies, processes, and regulations has become indispensable in addressing the pressing issue of rising global climate challenges. While there is a growing body of literature on green human resource management (GHRM), limited research has been found on how these practices affect organisational citizenship behaviour among employee (OCBE), as well as the mediating role of green organisational culture (GOC) and green organisational identity (GOI) within the setting of the textile industry of Bangladesh. To address this gap and to fulfil the objectives, this research has utilised a time‐lagged survey research design, collecting data from 747 respondents through a structured questionnaire, working in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified and non‐LEED certified textile companies of Bangladesh. The partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS SEM) statistical method has been utilised to examine the hypotheses; the results highlight the acceptance of all hypotheses. Thestudy offers contributions for both academicians and professionals. On the theoretical level, the findings contribute by conceptualising and contextualising the theory and introducing internal and psychological non‐symbolic enablers that fit with theability‐motivation‐opportunityO model and GHRM context of an emerging economy like Bangladesh. Practically, it provides actionable insights to managers and policymakers on how to drive GHRM to ingrain a green culture and green identity and eventually encourage pro‐environmental behaviours among employees. Although some limitations of the research exist, such as the specificity of the industry of study and the use of the quantitative method, these do not diminish the entire contribution of the paper or the novelty of the idea to contextualise GHRM and OCBE in the textile industry of Bangladesh.
