Abstract

This research examines the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on employees' environmentally supportive behaviours, specifically Organisational Citizenship Behaviour for the Environment (OCBE). It focuses on the intermediary role of Green Employee Empowerment (GEE) and the conditional influence of Green Commitment (GC). Data were collected from 306 staff employed in four major public hospitals in Kabul, Afghanistan. The study utilises a qualitative approach and collects responses through structured, closed-ended questionnaires designed to capture detailed insights. A combination of analytical techniques, including descriptive statistics, normality checks, reliability testing, correlation analysis, and regression analysis, was employed to analyze the data. In addition, Hayes' PROCESS macro was used to assess both mediation and moderation dynamics within the proposed model. Findings reveal that GHRM indirectly contributes to enhancing OCBE by empowering employees through the GEE approach. Moreover, GC strengthens the positive connection between GEE and OCBE, acting as a significant moderator. The current study contributes to the limited body of research on sustainable HR practices in the healthcare sector by examining both the mediating and moderating mechanisms that link GHRM to environmentally responsible employee behaviours.
