“…Although these factors prompted a shift towards a culture of quality management (Srinivasan & Kurey, ), we argue that they can also enable a green organisational culture. This argument is supported by Arda et al () who found that quality management and environmental management are two interdependent systems, that once integrated can positively affect firm performance. Importantly, we argue that GHRM activities play an essential role in the development of the four EGC.…”

“…Importantly, our data indicate that there is a full mediation effect for the EGC on the relationship between GHRM and EP. In a recent study by Arda et al (), the authors determined that quality performance and environmental proactivity mediate the relationship between environmental management and firm performance. Our findings build on this work by indicating that companies implementing environmental management programs need to consider the critical role of proenvironmental leadership emphasis, credible environmental messaging, peer involvement, and employee empowerment.…”

“…As per the previous studies for any environmental initiative, to be successful learning is vital that overcomes resistance to change. The importance of learning is justified in many previous studies such as Amini et al (), Arda et al (), Jaramillo et al (), and Siebenhüner and Arnold (). It is obvious to retain learning‐related variables for GHRM and green culture enablers.…”

“…Numerous studies have investigated how proenvironmental HRM activities improve the EP of the firm (Arda, Bayraktar, & Tatoglu, ; Daily et al, ; Jabbour & Santos, ). EP is defined as the commitment of firms to protect the environment and to demonstrate measurable operational parameters that are within the prescribed limits of environmental care (Paillé, Chen, Boiral, & Jin, ).…”

Green human resource management and the enablers of green organisational culture: Enhancing a firm's environmental performance for sustainable development

et al. 2019

Scholars have shown that green human resource management (GHRM) practices enhance a firm's environmental performance. However, existing studies fail to explain how GHRM initiatives can enable a green organisational culture or how such a culture affects the environmental performance and sustainable development of the firm. This paper examines the relationship between GHRM practices, the enablers of green organisational culture, and a firm's environmental performance. We conduct a largescale survey of 204 employees at Chinese manufacturing firms. Our findings suggest that proenvironmental HRM practices including hiring, training, appraisal, and incentivisation support the development of the enablers of green organisational culture. We suggest the key enablers of green organisational culture include leadership emphasis, message credibility, peer involvement, and employee empowerment. Our paper contributes to HRM theory in terms of originality and utility of research by explaining that the enablers of green organisational culture positively mediate the relationship between GHRM practices and environmental performance. Managers are provided with a detailed understanding of the GHRM practices needed to enable an organisational culture of environmentally aware employees. Finally, we address potential implications of this work for teaching green organisational culture to future generations of responsible managers.

“…Societies with high scores in this dimension tend to value the future rewards of present actions and are characterized by a readiness to delay immediate benefits; in contrast, societies with low long-term orientation cultures value the use of time and emphasize quick results (Hofstede, 2001;Williams & Zinkin, 2008). Different from that of the environmental management and sustainability literature which argues the influence of long-term orientation on EMPs (Arda, Bayraktar, & Tatoglu, 2019;Gotschol, De Giovanni, & Vinzi, 2014), this study argues that long-term orientation cultures affect the relationship between EMPs and firm performance.…”

Understanding variation in the relationship between environmental management practices and firm performance across studies: A meta‐analytic review

2019

The relationship between environmental management practices and firm performance has continuously received much attention in academic research. As existing literature on the link of the two constructs is characterized by heterogeneous research characteristics and mixed empirical evidence, one interesting question arises: Do research characteristics affect the magnitude and direction of the relationship between environmental management practices and firm performance? Amassing a database of 92 studies, 199 effect sizes, and 72,258 firms, we examine this question by conducting a meta-analysis. The characteristics investigated in this study include item number of performance measures, year of data collection, industry type, economic development, and Hofstede's five cultural dimensions. A meta-regression reveals that environmental management practices are positively associated with firm performance and that the degree of this association depends on these contexts. Specifically, the environmental management practices-performance relationship increases with year of data collection, is stronger with multiple item measures, and is higher for firms in developed countries and in cultures characterized by high power distance, low individualism, low uncertainty avoidance, and low long-term orientation.

The value of proactive environmental strategies to achieve and maintain competitive advantages in the business sphere has been widely acknowledged in recent years. However, mixed results can still be found regarding the determinants and consequences of the implementation of such practices. This study investigates the determinants of environmental proactivity in Spanish wineries, focusing on the role of company size in linking internal motivations and stakeholder pressure with proactive environmental strategy using the natural resource‐based view. So far, no research of this type has been carried out for the Spanish wine sector. A structural equation model is proposed based on partial least squares applied to a sample of 251 wine companies to evaluate both the direct relationships and the moderating effect. The study identifies internal motivations, community pressure, and regulatory pressure as determinants of proactive environmental strategy. Company characteristics play an essential role in decision‐making when dealing with environmental issues proactively. Small companies tend to be more influenced by internal motivations, while larger companies are driven to undertake environmental actions based on external pressures. Additionally, we found that managers who take a proactive approach to environmental protection can achieve financial rewards. These findings provide important implications for both policymakers and managers by offering new theoretical and empirical insight into how proactive environmental strategy affects financial performance in the case of Spain's wine companies.
