The study examined the role of green human resource management (HRM) practices on environmental sustainability (ES) among workers in Ghana. An explanatory research design was adopted for the study. Using a structured questionnaire, data was drawn from 221 workers from various sectors. Data gathered was analysed with Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling. The study found that there is a direct link between green HRM and ES behaviour among workers in Ghana. The novelty of the findings of this study relates to workers' perspectives across multiple sectors in Ghana and is the first study to have applied value alignment theory to argue for green HRM and ES from the Global South. The study offers insights into how organisations in Ghana can integrate sustainable practices into human resource management strategies, fostering a more environmentally conscious workforce and contributing to national, regional and international sustainable development goals.
该研究考察了绿色人力资源管理(HRM)实践在加纳工人的环境可持续性(ES)方面所起的作用。本研究采用了解释性研究设计。通过一份结构化问卷,从各部门的221名工人中收集数据。所收集的数据采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型进行分析。研究发现,在加纳,绿色人力资源管理与工人的环境可持续性行为之间存在直接联系。本研究结果的新颖之处在于涉及加纳多个部门工人的观点,并且是第一项应用价值一致性理论从全球南方的角度论证绿色人力资源管理和环境可持续性的研究。该研究为加纳的组织如何将可持续实践纳入人力资源管理战略提供了见解,培养更具环境意识的劳动力,并为国家、区域和国际可持续发展目标做出贡献。
