Green HRM Practices and Knowledge Sharing Improve Environmental Performance by Raising Employee Commitment to the Environment

In this research, the moderating effect of green knowledge sharing was used to investigate the association between green human resources management (green HRM) practices (competence, motivation, and involvement) and environmental performance via employee environmental commitment. Using previously validated metrics, an online survey of 155 academic staff members from 25 Pakistani universities ranked in the UI-Green Metric 2021 for having green campuses was carried out. The findings demonstrated a significant relationship between green HRM practices, employee environmental commitment, and the university’s environmental performance. The correlation between all three green HRM practices and environmental performance was mediated by the employee’s environmental commitment. The findings indicate that in order to improve environmental performance and reach environmental sustainability goals, it is essential to foster green knowledge sharing among employees and increase employee environmental commitment through green HRM practices.
