Abstract

Nowadays, organizations are focusing more on transforming normal employees into green employees through the implementation of green HRM practices. In this context, organizations pay more attention to developing the green competencies and green attitude of employees to make them to foster the green behaviors of employees, which ultimately leads to improving the green performance of employees. In this context, this paper reviews the relationships among Green Competencies of employees, Green Behavior of employees, and Green Performance of employees. In order 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 80 research papers that are relevant to the reviewed concepts. Findings of the review suggest that there is a positive relationship between the green competencies of employees and the green performance of employees. Similarly, the green competencies of employees lead to green behavior of employees. Moreover, findings suggest that the green behavior of employees has a positive relationship with green employee performance. Similarly, the green behavior of employees mediates the relationship between the green competencies of employees and green employee performance. Finally, this review proposes a mediation model that is useful to test and understand the relationships among the green competencies of employees, the green behavior of employees, and green employee performance empirically in the future.
