Green Human Resources Management: A Case Study Of Vietnamese Private Economic Groups

Abstract

The world is increasingly experiencing the negative impacts of economic development on the environment. Protecting the environment is seen as a shared responsibility of society as a whole. For enterprises, environmental protection is related to their competitiveness and long-term success. Therefore, businesses must incorporate environmental protection goals into their management activities, including human resource management. Green human resource management encompasses human resources practices designed to achieve environmental protection goals. This paper explores the factors influencing green human resource management in Vietnamese private economic groups. The paper uses quantitative methods, including reliability analysis with Cronbach’s Alpha, exploratory factor analysis, and regression analysis. The survey sample includes 1,378 employees from 10 major Vietnamese private economic groups. The research findings revealed that green recruitment and selection, green training, green performance management, green pay and rewardss, and green involvement have made a positive contribution toward achieving environmental benchmarks in human resource management.
