Abstract
The effect of human behaviour on environmental sustainability has far reaching implications for a broad spectrum of interested stakeholders. This perspective is taking into consideration the global consensus on the essence of resource conservation and thus reaffirming the overarching significance of instituting a culture of sustainable resource utilization across contexts. Hence, this study, therefore, examined the influence of green human resource management on employees’ pro-environmental behaviour of five-star hotels in Lagos State, Nigeria. A mixed method of data collection was employed. A total of 623 copies of questionnaire were administered to respondents out of which 553 returned and valid copies were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). Ten managers and supervisors of the studied hotels were also selected for in-depth interviews. The findings revealed a significant influence of green recruitment on the employees’ pro-environmental behaviour at R=0.803, R2 = 0.645, t =21.511 and p <0.05). The result also suggested that ease of online applications, environmentally friendly policies and hiring environmentally friendly candidates best predict employees’ pro-environmental behaviours. Green training was found to be significantly influenced by employees’ pro-environmental behaviour at R=0.548, R2 =0.301, f (5,546) = 52.179 and p <0.05. The result also indicated mitigation for environmental preservation, modalities for utilizing green technology and energy conservation are the constructs that best predict employees’ pro-environmental behaviours. The green compensation was found to significantly influence employees’ pro-environmental behaviour of selected hotels at R=0.861, R2 =0.741, t = 16.837 and p <0.05. The result suggested that green travel benefits, incentives on environmental management and recognition-based rewards have the highest values among the constructs that best predict employees’ pro-environmental behaviours while commission-based reward and bonus points had the least values. The green performance appraisal was found to significantly influence employees’ pro-environmental behaviour of selected hotels at R=0.839, R2 =0.704, t = 26.277 and p<0.05. The result also indicated that environmental compliance, resources saving, efficient use of resources have the highest beta values that best predict employees’ pro- environmental behaviours. Based on the study, green empowerment was found to significantly influence employees’ pro-environmental behaviour of selected hotels at R=0.765, R2 =0.585, t = 18.938 and p <0.05. The outcomes of the quantitative and qualitative approach of the study concluded that HR has a significant opportunity to contribute to the green initiatives in motivating employees (green compensation) to partake in reducing greenhouse gases through activities as little as turning off lights not in use. Furthermore, this study recommended that managers of the hotels should compensate employees and develop competencies to promote eco-helping behaviour and eco-initiatives.
