“…Accordingly, several researchers suggested that enhancing employee environmental knowledge and skills plays a key role in improving environmental performance (Vidal-Salazar, Cordón-Pozo, & Ferrón-Vilchez, 2012;Longoni, Golini, & Cagliano, 2014). Green training increases employees' ability to recognize environmental issues (Govindarajulu and Daily, 2004), to have a deeper understanding of the complexity of environmental problems (Perron, Côté, & Duffy, 2006) …”

This paper contributes to extant research on green Human Resource Management (HRM) relying on the instrumental value of stakeholder theory, which implies that stakeholders impact on company decisions and their development of organizational resources and performance. Following that theory, the study conceives green HRM practices as a set of management processes that companies implement for responding to stakeholder pressures on environmental issues. Accordingly with those premises, we empirically test the distinct role that different green HRM practices (i.e., green hiring, green training and involvement, and green performance management and compensation) play in mediating the relation between pressures on environmental issues from two specific external stakeholders (i.e., customers and regulatory stakeholders) and environmental performance. Our findings, based on a multirespondent survey in which the respondents were Human Resource Managers and Supply Chain Managers operating in Italy, confirm the hypothesized mediation model. Our results (as well as their implications) are discussed in light of the recent calls to broaden the scope of HRM research, considering the embeddedness of the company in a socio-political context and exploring the role that actors and factors outside the company play in shaping its green HRM practices.

Abstract:The concept of green supply chain management (GSCM) is still in its infancy and has been implemented only to a limited extent. Strategic orientation is an important factor affecting its implementation. No reliable and valid strategic orientation construct has been developed for greening a supply chain. This study proposes closed-loop orientation (CLO) as the appropriate strategic orientation to implement GSCM practices successfully and develops a valid measurement of CLO. Data collected from 296 Chinese manufacturers were analyzed using the structural equation modeling method to examine the relationships among CLO, GSCM practice and environmental and economic performance. The results show that both CLO and GSCM have positive effects on the environmental performance and economic performance and that CLO positively impacts the level of implementation of GSCM. The results also show that GSCM completely mediates the relationships between CLO and environmental and economic performance.

“…Consequently, involving employees in environmental management issues requires a strategy to win their support. Therefore, employee training has been used as one strategy to help overcome the constraints inhibiting the transformation to an environmentally conscious and responsible organisation (Perron et al, 2006). Employee training is also common with the implementation of sustainability standards such as the RFC.…”
