From HR to Environmental Stewardship: Unveiling the Role of Green HRM on Sustainable Performance

During an era where sustainability has become a global agenda, it becomes indispensable to learn how Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) practices contribute. This study investigates how Green HRM practices can affect sustainable performance in Malaysian public sector organizations, particularly aiming at administrative staff at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). With a correlational research design, the study employed stratified and purposive sampling techniques in obtaining data from 177 respondents across 35 campuses. The survey questionnaire, which was created from validated measures, operationalized Green HRM green recruitment, training, performance management, and compensation dimensions, as well as sustainable performance metrics. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), and the results revealed that there were substantial relationships between Green HRM practices and sustainable performance. These findings indicate the major role played by Green HRM in bringing institutional sustainability, with significant implications for policymakers and practitioners aiming to enhance environmental, economic and social performances in public sector organizations.
