INVESTIGATING MEDIATION ROLE OF GREEN ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY BETWEEN GREEN HUMAN RESOURCES DRILLS AND ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR TOWARDS ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This thesis explores the mediating role of green absorptive capacity in the relationship between green human resources drills (GHRP) and organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment (OCBE). With the growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, organizations are adopting green HR drills to encourage pro-environmental behavior among employees. In order to ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly business operations, current management practices place a heavy emphasis on the green aspects. In light of this, this study builds on the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory and examines the potential mediating role of green absorptive capacity in the relationship between OCBE and green human resources management (GHRM) practices, such as green performance management and green training and development. The research employs quantitative surveys to gather data from a diverse sample of organizations. The findings of this study will enhance our understanding of the mechanisms through which GHRP influence OCBE and shed light on the critical role of green absorptive capacity in facilitating environmentally responsible behavior within organizations. The implications of this research have the potential to inform HR strategies and contribute to the broader goal of achieving sustainable organizational drills. This study investigates whether green absorptive capacity, defined as an organization's ability to assimilate and utilize green HR drills, mediates the link between these drills and employees' engagement in OCBE. Limited research has been done on these variables in the local energy sector.
