Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of green human resource management practices (GHRMP) on employee job satisfaction (EJS) with the moderating role of green psychological climate in private higher education institutions in Kabul, Afghanistan by adopting a standard questionnaire, distributed to 200 employees working in different higher education institutions in Kabul, Afghanistan. The study employs a quantitative research design, with the hypothesis for the research being tested and data being acquired through a survey. Furthermore, mediation analysis has been employed to determine the relationship between the variables. Green HRM practices (green training and development and green reward) have a positive relationship with employee job satisfaction, according to the findings, and green psychological climate moderates the relationship between green HRM and employee job satisfaction. The study suggests that institutions for enhancing and intensifying employee performance should emphasize training as it inspires employees to work at higher levels.
