The Role of Green Human Resource Management and Managerial Concerns for Environment in Enhancing Green Innovation: Evidence from Indonesia

Recent sustainability literature has presented green innovation as a vital factor in enhancing sustainability. Most researchers explored the outcomes of green innovation. However, scant literature has been found that explores the antecedents of green innovation. The prior literature revealed that GHRM and managerial environmental concerns may be the potential antecedents of green innovation. Therefore, we further the existing literature by not only testing the direct relationship of GHRM and managerial environmental concerns with green human capital but also the mechanism of green human capital that serves as an intervening variable between the direct relationship of GHRM and managerial environmental concerns. The data was collected through surveys of 320 managers of Indonesian organizations. The data was analyzed using SmartPLS 3 software. The findings of the study suggest the positive association of GHRM practices and managerial environmental concerns with green human capital and an indirect effect of GHRM and managerial environmental concerns on green innovation.
