Abstract

Drawing on the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity, Corporate Environmentalism, and Value Belief Norm theories, this study proposes a framework that focuses on the consequences of green human resource management practices. We collected data from employees (n = 184) in sustainability-focused organizations in the United Arab Emirates. The results suggest that employee green behavior significantly shapes the relationships between environmental orientation, green competence building, green motivation, and organizational business performance. The study results allow us to understand better employee green behaviors and their impact on improving organizational business performance in an emerging nation context. The novelty of this research lies in the presentation of an integrated framework to solve the contemporary challenge facing businesses in promoting the green behaviors of employees.
