The Role of Electronic Human Resource Management on the Practices of Green Human Resource Management

Abstract

Through a theoretical framework, this study aimed to identify definitions of Green Human Resources Management by covering the definitions that were proposed by several researchers and attempt to reach new definition. Many previous studies have identified several benefits that can be achieved by using Green Human Resources Management in organizations. In addition, this study summarized these benefits and identified the most frequently recurring benefits by reviewing the previous studies and adding a table showing the recurrence of these factors. The study measured the impact of Electronic Human Resources Management on the practices of Green Human Resources Management in the Jordanian Pharmaceutical Companies by serving 180 employees in 15 Jordanian companies for the production of human medicines. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach was used as a statistical method to analyze the data. The results of the study showed high effect of Electronic Human Resources Management on the practices of Green Human Resources Management in Jordanian Pharmaceutical Companies and higher level of GHRM practices in Jordanian Pharmaceutical Companies. The most important recommendation of this study was that if organizations want to encourage the adoption of new work methods such as Green HRM, there has to be a link between employee incentives and employee learning of this new technology skill.
