An empirical investigation on the impact of green human resources management and green leadership on green work engagement

Abstract

This research examines the interaction among green human resource management, green leadership, green work engagement, and green organizational culture within an emerging market. Specifically, the research investigates the mediating role of green organizational culture in the relationship between green human resource management, green leadership, and green work engagement in Vietnam's agricultural products industry. Data was collected from 380 employees, revealing that green human resource management and green leadership have a positive effect on green work engagement. Moreover, the findings demonstrate that green organizational culture plays a mediating role in the association between green human resource management, green leadership, and green work engagement. These results contribute to the existing theoretical framework of green human resource management, offering insights into the influence of green human resource management and green leadership on green work engagement through green organizational culture. The research highlights the significance of effective implementation of green human resource management initiatives, green leadership, and the promotion of a green organizational culture to foster employee engagement in environmentally sustainable work practices.
