MEDIATING ROLE OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATION SUPPORT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GREEN HRM PRACTICES AND ORGANIZATIONAL SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices and sustainable business performance, with a particular focus on the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) within Pakistan's non-banking financial sector. The theoretical justification is provided under the perspective of resource dependence theory. The research encompasses a population of 337 employees across six non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) located in District Vehari, Pakistan. This study employs simple random sampling technique to determine a sample size of 181 based on Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) table. To account for potential data loss due to incomplete responses, 230 questionnaires were distributed. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS software (Ringle, Wende & Becker, 2015). The findings reveal a significant positive association between GHRM practices and sustainable business performance. Furthermore, POS mediates this relationship, indicating that employees' perceptions of organizational support enhance the effectiveness of GHRM practices in achieving sustainability objectives. These results underscore the importance of fostering a supportive organizational environment to maximize the impact of green HR initiatives on sustainable performance outcomes.
