CONCEPTUAL PAPER ON THE IMPACT OF GREEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR TOWARD THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE LIGHT OF AMO THEORY

Abstract

Poor environmental performance creates a need for the implementation of green practices like green human resource management. Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theory is a performance theory that suggests that an individual’s performance depends on the abilities, motivation, and opportunities. The green HRM can create better environmental outcomes, considering AMO theory. Therefore, this review focuses on how green HRM practices transform employees to foster organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment in the organizational context. To achieve the review objectives, a systematic review of the literature was conducted by using an archival method. This review process has used more than 50 research papers that are relevant to the reviewed concepts. Findings of the review suggest that there is a positive relationship between green competence-building practices and organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment. Similarly, green motivation enhancement practices lead to organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment. Moreover, reviews suggest that green employee involvement practices lead to organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment. Useful to test and understand the relationships among the reviewed concepts empirically in the future.
