Examining the influence of green human resource management on job performance: the mediating role of green creativity and green organisational commitment

Environmental protection has become a cornerstone of business strategy across industries. In this new landscape, a critical approach to tackling environmental challenges focuses on organisations themselves, particularly how they manage their human capital. By effectively leveraging their workforce through green HRM practices, organisations can find innovative ways to minimise their environmental impact while propelling their economic success. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of green human resource management on green creativity and green organisational commitment, as well as the impact of green creativity and green organisational commitment on job performance. In this study, a cross-sectional study based on a questionnaire was performed to collect data from a sample of 168 employees of Esfahan's Mobarakeh Steel Company. The content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using the opinion of experts and the construct validity was confirmed using factor analysis. The reliability of the questionnaires was also confirmed by Cronbach's alpha method. Structural equation modelling was used to test the research hypotheses. According to the research findings, green human resource management has a significant effect on green organisational commitment and green creativity. Green organisational commitment and green creativity also have a significant effect on job performance.
