Impact of green purchasing and green human resource management on business performance
Keywords:
Green human resource management, Sustainability, Supply chain management, Business Performance, Green purchasingAbstract
This research examines the impact of green human resource management and green purchasing on business efficiency in Pakistani manufacturing organizations. Data from 200 respondents from the manufacturing sector was gathered using the quantitative research method. Green human resource management and green buying were evaluated using three independent criteria. The main role of this research is that it is possible to observe a positive impact of independent variables on organization performance using the random sampling technique, especially in Pakistan manufacturing industries. This research can help managers and practitioners in a variety of ways. The findings could persuade management and practitioners to implement green human resource management (GHRM) and green purchasing (GP) in their organizations. Furthermore, companies can use both GHRM and GP to fulfil sustainability goals. Furthermore, the data implies that the GHRM-GP connection lowers blood pressure. This conclusion suggests that managers can align green purchasing strategies and practices with human resource strategies and practices to improve operational efficiency and reduce regulatory and compliance fines. Managers are encouraged to implement GHRM and GP simultaneously to achieve simultaneous improvement.
