EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF GREEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (GHRM) PRACTICES ON EMPLOYEES' PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOURS IN EGYPTIAN HOSPITALS

This study examines how green human resource management (GHRM) practices influence the development of an environmentally sustainable culture that encourages pro-environmental behaviours among employees in both public and private hospitals in Egypt. Data from 491 healthcare employees were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Results show strong positive connections between GHRM practices, green psychological climate, environmental knowledge, and employees’ pro-environmental behaviours. The findings emphasise that psychological climate and knowledge mediate the relationship between HRM practices and sustainable actions. Practically, the study underscores the importance for healthcare organisations to develop sector-specific GHRM strategies and effectively incorporate them into daily operations to achieve lasting sustainability. This research contributes to the GHRM literature by applying it to a healthcare setting in a developing country, and it recommends that future studies explore the long-term effects, individual differences, and cross-sector comparisons.
