Abstract

Based on the theory of planned behavior, we investigated how green human resource management (GHRM) affects employees’ green behavior in resource-based enterprises, and examined the mediating effect of green behavior intention and the moderating effect of green psychological climate. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 260 employees working in resource-based enterprises. The results show that GHRM has a direct positive impact on employees' green behaviors. GHRM can indirectly influence employees' green behavior through green behavior intentions. The green psychological atmosphere moderates the relationship between GHRM and employees' green behavior intentions. When employees perceive a strong green psychological atmosphere, GHRM has a stronger positive impact on their green behavior intention. The theoretical and more specific practical implications of these findings are also discussed.
