Test of a moderated mediation model of green human resource management, workplace spirituality, environmental commitment, and green behavior

Abstract

Our study examines a novel approach to foster employees' commitment to the environment and green activities. We focus on how workplace spirituality (WPS) and green human resource management (GHRM) interact in this context. Data were obtained from restaurant employees with a time lag of one week and their supervisors in China. The results from SPSS PROCESS macro suggest that environmental commitment mediates the influence of WPS on green recovery performance, in-role green behavior, and extra-role green behavior. The results further suggest that GHRM moderates the indirect impact of WPS on the abovementioned green behaviors via environmental commitment. Our research contributes to the emerging and understudied literature on the relationship between WPS and organizational sustainability.
