Factors Affecting Green Human Resource Management: A Study of a State University Sri Lanka
Abstract
Today, going green is a trend in almost all the fields in the world; Human Resource Management field is no exception. Green Human Resource Management has gained the attention of the top management in any sector. This study intends to identify the factors that affect Green Human Resource Management, including organizational culture, leadership and personal character. The academic staff of a state university is the individual unit of analysis. As a cross-sectional study, the study was conducted in a non-contrive setting, with minimum researcher interference. Three hypotheses have been developed to test the nomological network/conceptual framework. The study’s findings suggest that leadership directly impacts Green Human Resource Management and has no impact on other factors. This study adds new knowledge to social exchange theory and has significant policy implications for universities.
