Abstract

The current research investigates how green human resource management affects employee environmental behaviour and the potential mediation mechanism of environmental passion. Our hypothesis suggests that the adoption of successful green human resource management would stimulate employees to become more concerned about environmental issues by allowing them to demonstrate a positive emotion towards achieving an organisation's environmental goals. By using hierar-chical linear modelling, a multilevel approach was used to obtain information from 300 civil servants from 34 Malaysian local governments. Our findings confirmed the effect between green human resource management, environmental passion, and how employee their behaviour towards the environment. Green human resource manage-ment heavily relies on the employees' environmental passion to motivate them to change their behaviour in favour of environmental performance. Organisations that employ green human resource management enable employees to exhibit their compe-tences and get a deeper grasp of supporting environmental initiatives and activities that stimulate environmentally responsible behaviour. However, the use of multilevel research remains in its infancy when it comes to understanding how to oversee green human resource managements, particularly when it comes to boosting employee envi-ronmental behaviour. Therefore, the current research concentrates on employees' environmental passion, which is still under-addressed, and might be a mediating mechanism in ensuring that an efficient green human resource management system is able to motivate their behaviour towards the environment.
