Keywords:
Human Resource Management, Employee Engagement, Employee Performance, Small and Medium EnterprisesAbstract
This research aims to study the effect of green human resource management on organizational sustainability and the mediation effect of environmental & employee performance in Nepal. This investigation will be carried out using a quantitative approach. Purposive sampling was used to select 215 small and medium-sized businesses from Nepal as the study's sample size. Data analysis tools like SPSS and Smart PLS were employed. The findings shows that there is a significant positive effect of green human resource management and employee performance, environmental performance and organization sustainability. Similarly, there is a significant positive effect of employee performance and organization sustainability. Likewise, there is a significant positive effect of environmental performance and organization sustainability. Also, there is a mediating effect of employee performance and environmental performance in the relationship between greenhouse resource management and organization sustainability. Examining the mediating effects of employee performance on green human resource management (GHRM) and organizational sustainability might shed light on the link between these variables. According to the findings, GHRM practices including environmental-focused hiring, training, and development methods have a positive effect on employee performance. It also demonstrates how increased employee performance helps to mediate the relationship between GHRM and organizational sustainability and how GHRM's positive benefits on sustainability are partly communicated through it. The importance of employing GHRM strategies to boost employee commitment, engagement, and motivation—which in turn fosters organizational sustainability—is emphasized by this study. Businesses that prioritize GHRM may build a workforce base that is environmentally aware and actively contributes to achieving sustainable goals, which will ultimately lead to long-term success and a positive environmental impact.
