Sustainable HRM Practices and Green Organizational Behavior: Integrating Environmental Responsibility into Workforce Strategy

Abstract

Environmental sustainability has become a central concern for modern organizations seeking long-term competitiveness and social legitimacy. Sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and Green Organizational Behavior provide a strategic framework for integrating environmental responsibility into workforce management. This study explores how HR policies such as green recruitment, environmental training, sustainable performance evaluation, and eco-friendly reward systems encourage employees to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors. By aligning human resource strategies with sustainability objectives, organizations can cultivate a green organizational culture that promotes environmental awareness and responsible resource utilization. The article reviews theoretical perspectives and empirical findings demonstrating the relationship between sustainable HRM practices and environmental performance. Furthermore, it highlights the role of leadership and organizational culture in shaping green behavior among employees. The findings suggest that organizations that adopt sustainable HRM strategies not only improve environmental outcomes but also enhance employee engagement, corporate reputation, and long-termorganizational sustainability.
