Impact of Green HRM Practices on Employee Performance in the Banking Sector in Islamabad, Pakistan

Abstract

This research paper explores how Green HRM practices influence the performance of employees working in the banking industry of Islamabad in Pakistan. Green HRM strategies such as green recruitment, green training, green performance management, and green rewards are meant to synchronize the behaviors of the employees towards the organizational levels of sustainability. As environmental issues and regulations become a stronger force, banks are progressively implementing green programs, and little researches have been done on the impact of such programs on employee productivity in Pakistan. The research method in this study was quantitative in nature in which 120 employees of the public and private banks were used in gathering the data through structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data to measure the associations between Green HRM practices and employee performance. The findings suggest that there is a positive and significant correlation between the practices of Green HRM and employee performance with the factors of green training and green rewards being the strongest. The paper highlights that sustainable HRM practices do not only lead to better environmental performance; they are also effective in boosting the employee motivation, efficiency, and productivity, which also help in improving the performance of the organization. The results have implications on banking managers, HR professionals and policymakers seeking to find a way of embedding sustainability on human resource strategies.
