Abstract
Academics are placing emphasis on the need for personnel in the banking sector to undergo behavioral transformation due to the sector’s subpar and inefficient environmental performance. This study examines how green human resource management (GHRM) practices like green recruitment & selection, green training & development, green performance management, and green pay & rewards affect employees in role behavior in Bangladeshi banks. It also examines how workers’ organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment (OCBE) mediates green HRM practices & employees in role behavior. Data from several private and public banks in Bangladesh was gathered between January to June 2024. Data was collected from bank employees in metropolitan cities of Bangladesh utilizing a semi-structured questionnaire and a quantitative study approach. The participants were selected by a non-probability sampling method known as Convenience sampling. Nevertheless, a total of 288 surveys were duly completed and returned. Structural equation modeling, utilizing Smart-PLS second-generation software, revealed the results. This study found four independent variables and one dependent variable. Additionally, it is shown that OCBE acts as a mediator. The study revealed that five of the components exhibited a direct and significant correlation with the independent variables. In contrast, the remaining four factors have a negative correlation with the independent variables. Green HRM procedures in Bangladesh’s banking business are considered adequate but not very satisfactory. These workers also exhibit OCBE and in-role behavior. This study also found positive and negative effects of green HRM strategies on OCBE. The findings also indicated that although most of the banks have established green targets and goals, incorporated environmental concerns into job descriptions and specifications, implemented comprehensive environmental training programs, provided opportunities for green suggestion schemes, and conducted effective workshops to enhance environmental behavior, their actual implementation is insufficient. Moreover, the outcomes of this study have been scrutinized in relation to previous study results. Ultimately, this study provided guidance for future researchers to extrapolate the findings to a broader context.
