Impact of green human resources management on job satisfaction

Abstract

Green Human Resources Management is the continuation of the Human Resources Management approach in a sustainable and encouraging way. With the pressure created by the increasing global competition with the pandemic period and the increasing environmental awareness of people in this period, the interest in sustainability and green management have increased. However, with the emerging concept of green management, companies have started to include green practices in their business functions. One of the most important of these green practices is human resources management. By recruiting employees who adopt a green understanding and will maintain this understanding in business life, they will contribute to their companies’ adoption of green business management principles. When the literature review about the concept of green human resources is made, it is seen that there are not enough resources about the effect of GHRM on the job satisfaction of the employees. Job satisfaction is the feeling that is felt as a result of the success or failure of the employees as a result of the work they do, as a result of their material and moral coinciding with their personal values. Starting from this concept, it is thought that people who aim to work in a more sustainable and green company may have higher job satisfaction when they work in companies that attach importance to these practices. Based on these concepts and practices, this research was conducted to measure the effect of green human resources management on job satisfaction.
