Green human resource management practices influence employees' environmental concerns and proenvironmental behavioral intentions

We constructed a framework to test the proposal that five green human resource management practices (green recruitment, green training, green performance management, green reward, and green involvement) would influence employees' environmental concerns, thereby contributing to proenvironmental behavioral intentions. Data were collected from 380 employees working in restaurants in Taiwan. The results suggested that all five green human resource management practices were determinants of environmental concerns, which, in turn, influenced proenvironmental behavioral intentions. The mediating effect of environmental concerns on the relationships between the green human resource management practices and proenvironmental behavioral intentions was also supported. This research extends understanding of how green human resource management practices influence employees' proenvironmental behavioral intentions in the restaurant context.
