Greening the Workforce: Green Human Resources Management and Green Service Behavior in the Ready-Made Garments Sector of Bangladesh

Management

To what extent do green human resource management (GHRM), practices influence the tendency to green behavior of line managers in Garment factories in Bangladesh? That is the prime question addressed in a study of 280 line managers in 25 Ready-Made Garment factories in Bangladesh. This study is designed to empirically test a model of GHRM practices, and green behavior in the workplace. The current study employed six-dimensional green HRM practices- job position, recruitment, selection training and development, performance appraisal, and reward, with green behavior practices of white-collar employees. This study proposed 6 hypotheses, and the results of structural equation modeling (SEM) found 5 hypotheses supported. The study can help management better understand the importance of green HRM in implementing and shaping green service behavior of white-collar employees like line managers in Ready-made garment factories. Furthermore, from the analysis and the literature support it can be elucidated that the management of the organization and policymakers need to concentrate more on ensuring the organization's green HRM practices.
