Abstract:
The challenging business setting requires the companies to adopt and
pay a greater attention to the sustainability and environment concerns, in addition to
their profit. Currently, many organizations are undertaking green practices to promote
social responsibility among workers at the workplace. This study links “green HRM
and environmental performance” to the Sri Lankan context. It aims to examine the
influence of green HRM practices (green recruitment, green training and development and green employee involvement) on the performance of the employees in the
selected private banks in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The data collected from 200 structured
questionnaires from employees of the selected private banks comprised the sample
for the study. Data was analysed by using SPSS (21.0). Descriptive analysis and
regression analysis were carried out. The results indicate that green recruitment has
a significant impact on environmental performance while green employee involvement has been eliminated from the model. This emphasizes that human resource is
provoked to behave due to the sophisticated green HRM practices which are internally
embedded into the personalized behaviour rather formal remits.
