A recent empirical study conducted by Ayesha Sajjal from the Department of Economics and Business Management at the University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences sheds light on the intersection of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices and sustainability in healthcare organizations in an effort to boost employee sustainability and address environmental concerns.
Although European countries have faced increasing pressure to embrace environmentally friendly corporate practices over the last decade, this study focuses on the setting of emerging countries, notably Pakistan. The purpose of this research is to assess the application of GHRM practices in healthcare organizations and their influence on long-term performance in this critical service sector.
The study, which included 224 participants from both the public and private sectors of healthcare, used validated scales for all constructs. The research used SPSS and AMOS to analyse the data and used green practices such as ‘green hiring,’ ‘green training and involvement,’ and ‘green performance management and pay.’
Path coefficients testing revealed that green human resource management strategies have a positive impact on long-term performance. The findings give empirical evidence of the critical role that GHRM practices play in changing employee behavior in healthcare organizations towards sustainable success.
This research has enormous implications for Pakistan’s healthcare system, providing a roadmap to establishing a sustainable and trusted healthcare system. As organizations throughout the world battle with the requirement of environmental responsibility, the study demonstrates how implementing green practices in human resource management may serve as a catalyst for good change.
