EMPLOYEES PERCEPTION OF GREEN HRM PRACTICES IN SELECTED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES IN TAMIL NADU

Abstract: Purpose: This research aims to explore the role of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on environmental sustainability in ISO 14001-certified IT firms in Tamil Nadu, India. The study emphasizes how green practices like eco-friendly hiring, green training, carbon footprint minimization, e-waste handling, and cloud computing influence employee commitment, performance management, and environmental stewardship, eventually leading to sustainable organizational performance. Methodology: Quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed, and 120 IT professionals were chosen by applying stratified random sampling. Data were gathered by employing structured questionnaires and responses were measured by a 4-point Likert scale. Collected data were analyzed by applying Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in order to examine the relationships between GHRM practices, employee-level mediators and environmental sustainability. Findings: The findings substantiated that GHRM practices significantly have a positive effect on employee commitment (β = 0.42), performance management (β = 0.35), and e-waste management (β = 0.39), all at p < 0.001. Workers were discovered to view GHRM practices as effective in fostering sustainability, where there was a great consensus regarding cloud computing benefits, green recruitment, and motivation. Research highlights that embedding green values into HR policies has the ability to engender an environmental responsibility culture, improve operational efficiency, and boost organizational reputation within the IT sector. Keywords: Environmental Sustainability, Employee Commitment, E-waste Management and performance Management.
