Abstract:
The goal of this research is to assess the relationship among the initiatives of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) in the Universities in India. The initiatives of GHRM in Green HRM practices in the higher education sector have garnered the attention of researchers and academicians worldwide. However, there is still a need to examine and investigate the relationship between GHRM initiatives and organizational performance (in Higher Education Institutions), which is underexplored. Therefore, this study aims to bridge this gap by providing empirical evidence on assessing the Green HRM initiatives and environmental performance of higher education institutions in Chennai, India. With 22 recognized and registered universities in Chennai, a survey-based questionnaire was distributed among 10 universities using a simple random sampling technique. PLS-SEM was employed in this study to analyze data from 270 responses collected from employees of the selected universities. Furthermore, this study found that the implementation of GHRM initiatives has a positive relationship with the environmental performance of higher education institutions. Taking the ability-motivation-opportunity theory into consideration, the present study makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature through a conceptual framework and empirical evidence that tests the relationship between GHRM initiatives and the environmental performance of higher education institutions.
