Green HRM Practices and Its Influence on Organizational Culture and Environmental Performance in Chennai's IT Sector

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) policies on organizational culture and environmental performance within the IT sector in Chennai. Adopting a quantitative research approach, multiple regression analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were employed to assess the relationships among key variables. The findings reveal that Green HRM policies significantly enhance organizational culture (R² = 0.68, p < 0.01), with Green Performance Management (β = X.XX, p < 0.01) and Green Training & Development (β = X.XX, p < 0.05) playing the most influential roles.Moreover, a strong positive relationship (r = 0.64, p < 0.01) was established between environmental performance and organizational culture, where companies integrating sustainability into their culture are more likely to achieve higher efficiency in terms of resources and waste management (R² = 0.62, p < 0.01). The research further proves that environmental performance is directly influenced by Green HRM (R² = 0.57, p < 0.01), while SEM also supports the fact that organizational culture mediates this relationship partially. The outcomes emphasize the significance of not only adopting Green HRM practices but a sustainability-driven workplace as well in order to achieve maximum environmental performance. The findings are in line with previous research and provide useful insights for IT companies looking for ways to improve their sustainability performance.
