Enhancing Green Knowledge Sharing: The Roles of Environmental Leadership, Green Human Resource Management, and Psychological Contract Breach in the Aviation Industry

Green human resource management (GHRM), which is defined as integrating the environmental aspect into human resource management, has been paid attention to by previous scholars. However, the existing literature has revealed an issue with how and when GHRM describes employees’ green knowledge sharing as well as the roles of environmental leadership and psychological contract breach (PCB). Thus, by anchoring on social exchange theory and social learning theory, the study aims to build a comprehensive model to investigate (1) the direct effects of GHRM, environmental leadership, and PCB on green knowledge sharing (2) the mediating roles of environmental knowledge and eco-initiatives towards the effect of GHRM on green knowledge sharing (3) the moderating roles of environmental leadership and PCB in the connections from environmental knowledge, GHRM, and eco-initiatives to green knowledge sharing. The mixed-methods approach is applied. First, the qualitative study is used to confirm and develop the questionnaire. Then, the quantitative approach is applied to test the proposed hypotheses. A two-wave time-lagged survey through this questionnaire is employed to collect the data from 443 respondents working for leading Vietnamese airlines and other companies in the aviation industry. Data analysis is conducted by utilizing SPSS and the PROCESS package in R software. The main findings confirm the direct positive effect of GHRM on green knowledge sharing, environmental knowledge, and eco-initiatives, followed by the direct positive effect of environmental leadership and PCB on green knowledge sharing. Secondly, it is proven that environmental knowledge and eco-initiatives play a positive mediating role in the effect of GHRM on green knowledge sharing. Finally, it confirms the moderating roles of PCB in the connections from environmental knowledge, GHRM, and eco-initiatives to green knowledge sharing. Unexpectedly, hypothesis number 9, which is about the moderating role of environmental leadership in mediating from GHRM to green knowledge sharing via environmental knowledge, is not confirmed. This study has contributions in both theoretical and practical aspects. In light of the social exchange theory, this study confirmed the relationship between GHRM and green knowledge sharing, which is a vital green behaviour. Besides, with the extension of social exchange theory and social learning theory, this study emphasized the mediating role of environmental knowledge and eco-initiatives in the relation between GHRM and GKS, and the moderating role of environmental leadership and psychological contract breach in the mediating relationship between GHRM and GKS. The study also contributes to the literature on how effective GHRM practices are in the aviation industry, which has been less studied before. It can be proved that, besides technical solutions, GHRM is also a crucial system for supplying solutions for effectively protecting the environment. Finally, the study shows its limitations and suggests further research.
