“…Based on the above criteria, the investigator identified the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theory [85] best suited and was hence used in the study. The theory specifies that once the organization provides abilities, motivation, and opportunities in the best possible manner, the employees' commitment to their work is enhanced [86]. Studies (for instance, [87,88]) used AMO theory to examine the impact of GHRM on organizational performance.…”

Green HRM involves a variety of organizational policies, practices, and processes that encourage the use of environmentally friendly methods that could be advantageous to the individual, business, and the environment. Based on the systematic review of empirical articles collected from Scopus, the study identified and analyzed 31 empirical studies published since 2010. The current study was undertaken to identify various factors and measuring tools of GHRM. Based on the Ability–Motivation–Opportunity (AMO) theory and the review methodology, the study identified various factors and measuring tools of GHRM. A few identified factors include Green Recruitment and selection, Green Training and Development, Green compensation management, Green performance management, Green Employee empowerment and participation, and Green Employee relations. The present research has thus opened fresh avenues for future studies. In addition, the study presents different perspectives and suggestions for future research that could facilitate the inclusion of sustainability initiatives in the organizational agenda.

PurposeThe research analyzes the influence of three environmental triggers, i.e. awareness, concern and knowledge on environmental attachment and green motivation that affect tourists' pro-environmental behavior in the Pakistan’s tourism industry. Furthermore, this study has analyzed the moderating role of moral obligation concerning environmental attachment and green motivation on tourists' pro-environmental behavior.Design/methodology/approachData were gathered via a structured questionnaire by 237 local (domestic) tourists of Pakistan. Furthermore, the data were examined by employing SmartPLS.FindingsFindings demonstrate that all three environmental triggers have a positive and significant relationship with environmental attachment and green motivation. Accordingly, environmental attachment and green motivation promote tourists' pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, the moderating role of moral obligations has also been incorporated in the study. The finding reveals a strong and positive relationship among environmental attachment and tourists' pro-environmental behaviors during high moral obligations. In contrast, moral obligations do not moderate association between green motivation and tourists' pro-environmental behavior. Therefore, competent authorities should facilitate tourists to adopt environmentally friendly practices; which will ultimately promote pro-environmental behavior.Originality/valueThis study provides useful insights regarding the role of tourism in fostering environmental attachment and green motivation that sequentially influence tourist pro-environmental behavior. Secondly, this research has employed moral obligations as a moderator to identify the changes in tourists’ pro-environmental behavior based on individuals' ethical considerations. Hence, the study provides an in-depth insight into tourists' behavior. Lastly, the present research offers effective strategies for the tourism sector and other competent authorities to increase green activities that can embed the importance of the environment among individuals.

“…As discussed earlier, green organizational citizenship behavior is highly dependent on an individualistic approach [56]. The AMO theory states that organizations should be concerned with developing the urge to learn and develop new skills [22]. Management play an important role in encouraging employees' self-awareness and implementing green practices in their daily work life, as well as providing them with an opportunistic culture in which employees' behaviors and knowledge shower towards the improvement of the environment and organizational stability [8].…”

“…Third, this study contributes to ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory. The theory contends that HRM practices are developed, implemented, and enhanced among employees by giving them self-confidence in developing their abilities, motivating them, and creating opportunities for them [22]. In today's contemporary environments, top management has been observed to face external pressures, introduce such strategies, and build innovative policies that significantly resolve environmental issues [23].…”

Increasingly negative business processes and climate change have prompted businesses to incorporate green lifestyle practices into their working systems as a promising first step. This study investigates the impact of green human resource management practices on green organizational citizenship behavior, with a green lifestyle acting as a mediator and green innovation and green shared value acting as moderators. The data were collected from 347 hotel industry employees in China, and the partial least squares structural equation modeling PLS-SEM technique was applied to verify the hypothesis relationships. The results show that green HRM practices positively and significantly impact green lifestyle and organizational citizenship behavior. Meanwhile, findings indicate that a green lifestyle positively mediates the relationship between green HRM practices and green organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, results show that green shared value significantly moderates the relationship between a green lifestyle and green organizational citizenship behavior. The moderating effect of green innovation is insignificant in the relationship between green HRM practices and green lifestyles. Finally, this article discusses the managerial implications and future insights. This study is useful for HR managers in the hotel industry to make the best possible strategic decisions and formulate the best possible strategies accordingly. Finally, this study provides insights for other practitioners and academics to better understand the concept of green lifestyles in order to improve green organizational citizenship behavior in their organizations.
