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.
