Abstract

This study examines the mediating role played by green psychological climate between green human resource management practices and green employee behavior relationship. A cross‐sectional, survey‐based, multi‐level approach was adopted to understand the relationship among the variables. Data was collected from 77 HR managers and 445 employees using online and offline methods of data collection. Drawing on social exchange theory and social cognitive theory, the results of the study revealed that green psychological climate partially mediates the relationship between green human resource management practices and green employee behavior. The study is first in itself to empirically examine the relationship among the variables using multi‐level approach. Multi‐level approach of decoding the relationships in organization behavior is considered as a better way of unlocking the relationships since it addresses several methodological concerns. The study attempts to bind the ideas of social exchange theory, social cognitive theory and strategic HRM with green concept paving way for green strategic HRM. Green human resource management practices foster eco‐friendly HR practices, green psychological climate assesses the organizational atmosphere, and green employee behavior reflects sustainable behavior among employees. This comprehensive view allows organizations to integrate corporate social responsibility and environmental management seamlessly, ensuring that sustainable principles are embedded throughout the company's culture, operations, and employee actions, thereby promoting a more environmentally responsible and socially accountable corporate environment.
