Study Notes

Green Human Resource Practices and Organizational Citizenship Behavior

  • Green HRM integrates environmental objectives into traditional HR strategies, fostering a sustainable workforce.
  • Green practices include recruitment and selection based on environmental awareness, employee training on green activities, performance management evaluating green performance, and green rewards (financial and non-financial) to incentivize green behaviors.
  • Green involvement provides employees with opportunities to participate proactively in environmental initiatives.

Citizenship Behavior Towards the Environment (OCBE)

  • OCBE encompasses voluntary, proactive behaviors exceeding formal job requirements to support environmental sustainability.
  • Individual OCBE entails personal acts like energy conservation and waste reduction.
  • Collective OCBE involves team efforts exceeding basic environmental roles to contribute to organizational green strategies.

Dimensions of OCBE

  • Eco-civic engagement: voluntary team participation in green programs and activities.
  • Eco-helping: team support for others' integration of environmental concerns.
  • Eco-initiatives: team-driven behaviors and suggestions to improve the organization's green performance.

Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory

  • Individuals aim to minimize resource loss and maximize gain.
  • Individuals with ample resources tend towards proactive strategies exceeding minimum expectations.
  • Individuals with limited resources adopt defensive strategies, meeting only basic expectations.

Green HR Practices as Organizational Resources

  • Green training programs equip employees with green knowledge, values, and skills linked to problem-solving and sustainability.
  • Green norms and behavioral roadmaps encourage pro-environmental collective behaviors.
  • Collective green crafting improves team knowledge, skills, relational qualities and reduces hindering job demands to enhance pro-environmental activities.

COR Theory and Collective Green Crafting

  • Teams leverage organizational resources to enhance green knowledge, skills, and relationships, promoting consistent green behaviors.
  • Resource sharing within teams reduces hindering job demands and fosters green creativity.

Environmentally Specific Servant Leadership

  • Servant leadership emphasizing green values and goals motivates teams for group success, influencing resource sharing, and achieving sustainability objectives.

Research Findings

  • Green HR practices significantly influence collective and individual OCBE.
  • Environmental leadership positively interacts with green HR in boosting OCBE.

Supply Chain Sustainability (SCS) and Behavioral Framework

  • Supply chains involve all steps and people to make/deliver products or services.
  • Sustainable supply chains reduce harm to the environment, treat people fairly, and remain profitable.

Challenges in Implementing SCS

  • Reliance on supply chain partners with insufficient resources or knowledge.
  • Proactive change agents (boundary spanners) at organizational interfaces are imperative to lead sustainability efforts.
  • Regulatory pressures necessitate focusing on individual employee sustainability motivation and behavior to impact SCS success.

Theoretical Background of Supply Chain Sustainability (SCS)

  • Sustainability: meeting present needs without affecting future generations' ability to meet theirs (Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, Profit)
  • SCS focuses on organizational efforts to integrate people, planet, and profit issues into every stage of the supply chain process(sourcing, product development, etc.)

Comparative Feedback

  • Comparative feedback informs employees about other group performance.
  • Social identity plays a role, making individuals more self-conscious, thus influencing their performance and positive self-image.
  • This approach can be effective for reducing environmental waste.

Increasing Pro-Environmental Behaviors

  • Self-concordance correlates to environmentally sustainable behaviors.
  • Align environmental behaviors with personal goals to increase sustainability.
