Analysis of Green Recruitment, Green Performance Management and Green Reward Management Practices in Manufacturing Companies in Sri Lanka

Industrialization worldwide enhances business, technology, and overall quality of life but also exacerbates environmental hazards. Organizations must adopt Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices to mitigate these threats. This study explores the impact of green recruitment, green performance management, and green reward management in fostering a sustainable work environment. It also examines the challenges organizations face in implementing these practices and the benefits they gain from doing so. Using a qualitative approach, this research involved interviews with 12 manufacturing firms in Sri Lanka, selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key insights. Findings indicate that while GHRM practices contribute positively to sustainability, their adoption is hindered by various organizational challenges. Since the study focuses solely on the Sri Lankan manufacturing sector, the findings may have limited generalizability. However, they offer valuable insights for HR professionals in policy development and implementation of Green HRM strategies within their organizations.
