Green human resource management and corporate environmental performance in the hotel industry

The rising public anxiety for environmental issues has stimulated the research working on green policies, especially in human resource management strategy. Despite the theme of green human resource management (GHRM), defined as environmental management-oriented human resource management strategy, has been outspreading recently, previous publications have so far undeveloped (1) the indirect effects of employee environmental commitment and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) towards the connections between GHRM practices and corporate environmental performance; (2) the interactive influences of among GHRM practices (two- and three- way interaction effects) on corporate environmental performance; and (3) GHRM practices applied for developing environmental sustainability in the hotel industry. By extending Ability-Motivation- Opportunity and social exchange theories, this work aims to bridge such research gaps via examining a new conceptual framework, which explores the direct, indirect and interactive roles of GHRM practices (e.g., training, performance management, and employee involvement) to organizations’ environmental performance. The mixed-methods is applied, the thesis chooses 3- to 5-star hotels in Vietnam for conducting both qualitative and quantitative studies. The qualitative study with the case study strategy is first worked to enrich the understandings of the complex phenomenon of GHRM practices applied in hotels, accordingly develop the measurement for the quantitative study. The quantitative approach is then employed to assess hypotheses. The survey strategy, questionnaire technique, and crosssectional design are adopted for data collection. 220 valid respondents are then analyzed by SMART-PLS and SPSS with PROCESS model. Main findings suggest that: (1) green training and green employee involvement are critical tools in stimulating directly OCBE and corporate environmental performance, (2) the indirect role of OCBE towards effects of green training and green performance management on corporate environmental performance is found, and (3) an essential interaction between green training and green employee involvement, especially at the high and average conditions of employee involvement, strengthens significantly organizations’ green performance. However, unexpected results are also recognized: (1) green performance management may be an unimportant consideration in analyses of direct and interactive influences, and (2) employee environmental commitment does not mediate the connection between GHRM practices and corporate environmental performance. The thesis consists theoretical contributions by (1) highlighting the relevance of Ability-Motivation-Opportunity and social exchange theories in green context to investigate the relationships between GHRM practices and corporate environmental performance; (2) enriching the existing literature to fill the research gaps through an analysis of the indirect roles of employee environmental commitment and OCBE, and the interactive effects of GHRM practices on corporate environmental performance. The thesis’s practical implications, limitations, and further works are also emphasized.
