Several large companies underwent a sustainability transition over the past
few years, despite limited theory and empirical research on green human resource
management with sustainability. However, this corpus of research remains
nascent, with several notable shortcomings. Rooted in dual theoretical
perspectives of AMO and paradox theories. The model incorporates top
management commitment and organizational green culture as mediation
mechanisms to explain the pathway from green HRM transformation towards
corporate sustainability.
The main aim of this doctoral thesis is to be achieved by employing a mixmethodology, using a survey of 194 employees working in the automotive
companies (quantitative phase-I) and followed by content analysis (qualitative
phase-II) 2 years sustainability reports published by three automotive companies
in the Czech Republic. This research used SmartPLS 4.0 software for survey data
analysis. For qualitative data analysis, the author conducted the content analysis
with the help of Atlas.ti 9.0 version qualitative software for two years of
sustainability reports of three automotive companies.
The survey data revealed that green HRM practices, e.g. green performance
management and green employee involvement, were positively related to top
management commitment and the organization's green culture. Conversely, green
training was not supported by top management commitment. This research
demonstrates top management commitment, organization’s green culture
promotes corporate sustainability. The qualitative content analysis results
generated valuable themes such as green initiatives, responsible behaviours, a
digital business model and employee care.
This research is theory-driven with a theoretically novel perspective, it presents
a comprehensive framework for a better understanding of how automotive
companies adopt green HRM in fostering corporate sustainability at different
levels such as individual, strategic and organizational level. Importantly, this
research contributes to the body of knowledge on GHRM and corporate
sustainability, a partially examined phenomenon in the Central European Region,
especially in the Czech Republic. This research is also an early attempt to
combine two previously separated theoretical perspectives such as AMO and
Paradox theories. Finally, this research also discusses the implications of this
comprehensive framework for research on green HRM with corporate
sustainability.
