Effect of Green Human Resource Management Practices on Job Satisfaction: A Mediation-Moderation Model

This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanism (i.e. Green employee empowerment (GEE)) linked with green human resource management (GHRM) and job satisfaction (JS). Furthermore, it examines the moderating effect of organizational citizenship behaviour in the correlation between GEE and JS. Purposive sampling is used to collect the data from employees working in the service sector of India. The study hypotheses were tested with a usable sample of 300 through the PLS-SEM version (4.0.1.9) to analyze the data. The results indicate that GHRM positively effects GEE, and GEE positively effect job satisfaction. Additionally, these results confirm that GEE mediates the relationship between GHRM and job satisfaction. Moreover, the study demonstrated the moderating role of OCB in the relationships between GEE and job satisfaction, demonstrating that this relationship is stronger at higher levels of OCB. Based on this research, our study provides several practical and theoretical implications for workers and HR managers in the Indian service sector, and future research directions are also discussed.
