Abstract

Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has turned out to be a strategic need in instilling sustainability and environmental responsibility in organizations. The area of study for this paper will be the investigations of the depths of the issues of GHRM practices, how and why demographic patterns differ in the perception of the practices of GHRM among the employees in the Indian banking system particularly the age-difference. A total of 358 respondents who completed a structured research questionnaire were surveyed in the five main dimensions related to GHRM that include green HR planning, recruitment, and selection, training, employee relations and performance evaluation. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) continued to identify seven different dimensions of GHRM that resulted to complete explanation of the overall variance (62.44%) hence confirming the multidimensional character of green HRM practices. The scrupulousness of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.880 and the significance passed to Bartletts Test supported the suitability of data in factor analysis. Besides, one way ANOVA and differences in means across the age groups were used by use of descriptive statistics. Though the differences were not significant in majority of GHRM practices, Welch test revealed an age-wise discrepancy in the perception of green HR planning and perception of GHRM as a whole. The results indicate that despite the large number of people who identify with the GHRM practices and those who actually apply the practice in all the age brackets, the older employees demonstrate a slightly higher conformity with sustainable HR practices. The paper enriches the argument about the expanding literature on the implementation of green HRM in the study field by suggesting empirical evidence on the structural aspects and the role of demographic aspects as productive issues on green HRM, which is useful to HR managers who would want to design green practices among various workforce demographies.
