GREEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ON TASK-RELATED BEHAVIOUR IN DEPOSIT MONEY BANKS IN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA: A REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This study investigated the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on task-related behaviour within Deposit Money Banks in Southwest Nigeria. Specifically, it examined how green-oriented HR practices such as green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management, and green compensation affect employees’ environmentally responsible task-related behaviours. In the journey towards environmental sustainability, organizations are expected to adopt and implement specific green HR initiatives that align with their internal strategic goals and the broader objective of environmental protection. GHRM has emerged as a critical strategic approach through which HR departments actively drive environmental sustainability in the workplace. The findings of this study suggest that the integration of GHRM practices significantly enhances task-related behaviour by fostering eco-conscious attitudes and actions among employees. Furthermore, it was concluded that the adoption of GHRM not only improves organizational environmental performance but also promotes employee well-being in the banking sector. The study recommends several practical strategies, including the implementation of green certification programs for employees, the provision of incentives to promote eco-friendly behaviours at work, regular sustainability training and awareness programs, and the adoption of technology-driven green recruitment and selection processes. These insights contribute meaningfully to the growing body of literature on sustainable HRM and provide actionable guidance for promoting environmental responsibility within Nigeria’s financial sector.
