“…To balance the interests of all parties, companies increasingly focus on responsible leadership. Environmental responsible leadership (Chianghui, 2023;Yi et al, 2023) builds a communication platform that includes many stakeholders, allowing employees to better understand the needs of each party rather than acting blindly based on their own experiences and assumptions, and facilitating employees' clarity about the company's position and direction of pro-environmental behavior. (Voegtlin et al, 2020) clarified that responsible leaders have three roles: citizen, expert, and facilitator.…”

As the public’s call for corporate green development grows, more and more companies are joining the green development team. Environmental responsible leadership, as a leadership style focused on the construction of enterprises, has attracted widespread attention from the corporate and academic communities. Meanwhile, the pro-environmental behavior of employees is the key link in the implementation of green policies in enterprises. To clarify the mechanism of environmental responsible leadership on employee pro-environmental behavior, a moderated mediation model was constructed. This model examined the mediating role of employment relationship atmosphere between environmental responsible leadership and employee pro-environmental behavior, and examined the moderating role of social distance on the relationship between environmental responsible leadership and employment relationship atmosphere. The employment relationship atmosphere focuses on the level of trust, respect, and cooperation between managers and employees. Within a good employment relationship atmosphere, employees find that environmental responsible leaders treat them positively, and according to social exchange theory, in order to give back to the leaders, employees will take the initiative to perform the behaviors expected by the leaders, such as employee pro-environmental behaviors. We conducted a study on employees of five enterprises in Shanxi Province, and analyzed the questionnaire data using SPSS and AMOS. The results showed that environmental responsible leadership has a significant positive effect on employee pro-environmental behavior; employment relationship atmosphere plays a mediating role between environmental responsible leadership and employee pro-environmental behavior; social distance plays a moderating role in the relationship between environmental responsible leadership and employment relationship atmosphere, that is, the closer the social distance, the stronger the impact of environmental responsible leadership on employment relationship atmosphere.

How Effective Is Reverse Cross-Docking and Carbon Policies in Controlling Carbon Emission from the Fashion Industry?

et al. 2023

The present consumer behavior is manipulated by “fast fashion”, where purchasing new, trendy, affordable clothes is preferred over recycling old ones. This changing mannerism has escalated the GHG emissions from the fashion industry. Energy-intensive raw material production, preparation, and processing contribute to considerable emissions. The management of the returned goods from the primary market and further processing through the secondary outlets indulge in reverse logistics. In this paper, efforts are made to minimize the total cost and the carbon emission amount during the process of managing the return articles from the primary market to the reverse distribution center, further processing of the articles at the secondary outlet, and the return of the unsold or excess articles from the secondary outlet. Reverse cross-docking has been implemented in managing the return articles, while environmental concerns over GHG emissions have been addressed by investing in green technology under a strict carbon cap policy. In this research, return articles from the primary and secondary markets, rework of the returned articles, and disposal of the impaired returned articles have been considered. The carbon emission cost at all stages of transportation, rework, or disposal has also been incorporated into this model. A constrained mixed integer linear programming model is proposed and solved considering green investment. A numerical example has been formulated to investigate the effect of green technology on the total cost. The results portray that, though the total cost increases by nearly 2% due to investment in green technology, it ensures a considerable drop of 23% in the carbon emission amount. Also, the result is successful in establishing that reverse cross-docking is a better option than traditional warehousing in terms of minimizing the cost.

The objective of this study is to evaluate how the implementation of green human resource management (HRM) practices affects environmental performance and explore the role of sustainability-focused employee behavior in mediating the connection between green HRM practices and environmental performance in Bangladesh. To achieve this, a conceptual model was formulated based on the theoretical foundations of the Ability, Motivation, and Opportunity theory and the Research-Based View theory. The model was examined using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach with SmartPLS v4.0. Primary data was gathered from 310 employees across various organizations in Bangladesh. The findings demonstrate that both green recruitment and selection processes, along with the green compensation and reward system, have a positive influence on environmental performance. Furthermore, sustainability-oriented employee behavior was identified as a partial mediator in this relationship. However, this study reveals that there is no direct or indirect correlation between green training and development programs, as well as the green performance appraisal system, and environmental performance. Based on these results, it is recommended that green training and development initiatives, as well as performance appraisal systems, be strengthened in Bangladesh to foster greater employee involvement in environmentally friendly practices. This study contributes practical insights to improve HR policies, which can subsequently lead to enhanced environmental performance. Keywords: Green HRM practices, Sustainability, Employee, Behavior, Environment, and Performance.
