Abstract
Due to rapid industrial developments and the effects of the economic revolution such as high production rates and non-ecofriendly supply systems, environmental pollution has been observed in recent years and environmental issues are increasingly becoming a concern on the planet. For this reason, there is little doubt that business organizations have been forced more and more to implement green business strategies for stakeholders, facing the necessity to improve their employees’ environmental performance. Using 461 US employees in the environmental related industries, we found empirical evidence between employees’ green performance, organizational culture and adaptability capability. Finally, the present study suggests two main corporate elements for green policy makers in eco-friendly organizations that the alignment of firm environmental strategy with strategic human resources (HR) should include (1) an organizational culture that supports employee green practices and (2) employee adaptability competency that enables workers to respond to the evolving environmental challenges as main component of analysis.
Highlights
Environmental problems are increasingly becoming a concern due to rapid industrial developments, and with the industrial revolution, environmental pollution has been observed in the recent past, which has positively contributed to global warming, among other environmental challenges
It was clear that employee adaptability enhances their environmental performance since they develop soft skills and behaviors which enable them to respond to the evolving environmental challenges
It was clear that market culture did not support employees’ environmental performance since it is highly focused on profitability and competition, which increase production processes and the rise in environmental pollution
Summary
The prior researchers realized that employee engagement is highly focused on internal environmental resource management strategies, including conservation initiatives To this consideration, it was clear that employee adaptability enhances their environmental performance since they develop soft skills and behaviors which enable them to respond to the evolving environmental challenges. While this seem to enhance employee environmental performance, the association was indirect as the organization has to strategize green concepts in market orientation first In this case, it was clear that market culture did not support employees’ environmental performance since it is highly focused on profitability and competition, which increase production processes and the rise in environmental pollution. It did not support clan culture, which embraces teamwork and organizational citizenship behavior
