“…The role of HR departments in pursuing higher GIC was reported by Nisan and colleagues and Shoaib and colleagues as well. The authors, indeed, show that the more the HR departments support the deepening of employee green knowledge, the higher their GIC [61,70]. Therefore, environmental consciousness with respect to green activities (e.g., the reduction of fuel consumption, the reduction of water waste, the proposal of green strategies) stimulates GHC, so that firms engaged in promoting GHC are more efficient than their competitors.…”

“…Consistently with the GIC framework, assuming its prominent role in enhancing the corporate competitive advantage, several empirical studies tested the effect of the adoption of a GIC paradigm on organizational performance outcomes. Studies that used a global measure of GIC or that did not distinguish between GIC dimensions in their statistical models (N = 8) found an association between GIC and organizational performance, measured as financial performance [57,69,70], innovation performance [71], or financial, social, and environmental performance [58]. Corporate competitive advantage emerged as an outcome of the adoption of GIC as well [6,57,72,73].…”

“…Among the selected works, only twelve studies identified GIC antecedents. The most mentioned antecedent was environmental consciousness [13,57,73,86], followed by corporate social responsibility (CSR) [13,59,86], GHRM [61,70], corporate environmental ethics [47], strategic intent [71], technological distance [63], and network embeddedness [62]. According to these papers, the association between environmental consciousness and GIC is related to the positive representation of green issues that characterize firms with high levels of environmental consciousness.…”

Management of Green Intellectual Capital: Evidence-Based Literature Review and Future Directions

This paper presents a systematic, evidence-based review of Green Intellectual Capital (GIC) management, a construct first introduced in 2008 and increasingly recognized as a management concept in recent years. This review covers the literature on GIC from 2008 to 2020 and addresses the role played by intellectual capital as a framework to promote sustainability in organizations. With the aim of clarifying our knowledge on the application of the GIC paradigm, this paper reviews the findings on the outcomes achieved by organizations that adopt the GIC paradigm, the antecedents and possible mediation-moderation factors that enhance this process, and the contexts in which such outcomes emerge. Findings show that GIC offers a significant framework for promoting sustainability in organizations. However, even though this study underlines the increasing trend of GIC, there remains very little reliable data on the subject, particularly addressing the role played by GIC as a framework to promote sustainability in organizations. This literature review is valuable for both researchers and practitioners. From a theoretical point of view, it allows one to synthesize the outcomes of GIC to better delineate how it affects organizations and the environment. From a practical point of view, opening a debate about the actual outcomes of GIC allows one to overcome the theory–practice divide, making the value of GIC more accessible to practitioners and managers and pushing them to opt for a green shift in their organizations.

“…In this regard, the first theoretical implication of the current study is that it is one of those few studies that stress to explain why employees are involved in pro-environmental behavior. Unlike the majority of the previous studies in this domain, which were carried out to explore the outputs of pro-environmental behavior [8,21], this study uncovers the underlying psychological mechanism of employees' engagement in pro-environmental behavior. Another theoretical implication of the current study is that it is one of the pioneering studies that attempt to link the concept of work engagement to explain PEB-E.…”

“…In existing literature, different scholars have focused on the organizational outcomes of PEB-E [21,22], while neglecting the underlying mechanism that urges employees to be engaged in environment-related behaviors. Here, we take a different stance by arguing that, although the importance of PEB-E in achieving various organizational objectives (and especially environmental objectives) cannot be denied, understanding the mechanism for engagement of employees in such behaviors is more important.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as an imperative for every sector globally. Yet, for a long time, the concept of CSR has been regarded from an organizational perspective. However, the importance of CSR in shaping the extra-role behavior of employees, such as their pro-environmental behavior (PEB-E), has been under-explored in the literature. Against this backdrop, the current study aims to investigate the impact of CSR on PEB-E with the mediating effect of work engagement (W.E) in the context of a emerging country. The study also employs stewardship theory as an alternate theory to explain the proposed relationships. The data of the current study were obtained from SME sector through a self-administered (paper-and-pencil method) questionnaire. A random sample of employees (n = 398) from different SMEs was selected and analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results of the current survey revealed that CSR directly and indirectly, via W.E, predicts PEB-E positively. The findings of the current study will be helpful for policymakers to understand that well-planned CSR activities, not only create positive repute for an SME, but also provide the underlying justification to its employees to be engaged in different environment-specific behaviors.

The influence of green human resource management on environmental performance: An empirical study investigated in the pollutant industries of Pakistan

This research mainly aims to test the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) on environmental performance (EP) and to determine whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) mediates the relationship between GHRM and EP and whether organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) moderates the relationships between CSR and EP. The paper relied on a quantitative research approach with a sample of 204 employees from the pollutant industries of Pakistan. In this paper, the partial least square approach (PLS‐SEM) was employed to verify the proposed hypotheses. The outcomes confirmed that GHRM has a positive impact on EP. Additionally, the findings indicated that CSR affected EP. It was also revealed that CSR fully mediates the linkages between GHRM and EP. This paper acknowledges the existing gaps in the prior literature and enables us to clearly understand the significance of GHRM in affecting EP via CSR as a mediator.
