Resumo
Considering the relevance of green human resource management (GHRM) practices and pro-environmental behaviour topics, the present study provides a systematic literature review on the direct and indirect effects of GHRM practices, paying special attention to the effects on employees’ pro-environmental behaviour. In this task, the Supported Hypothesis Percentage (SHP) measure is used for analysing how relevant GHRM practices are for achieving organizational and individual outcomes. Results show that 82.9% of hypotheses directly linking GHRM practices and outcomes are supported. The highest SHP is found in the hypotheses involving Green motivation, GHRM bundle, Other practices, Employee empowerment, Employee involvement and Training GHRM practices. With regard to relationships between GHRM practices and pro-environmental behaviour at work, we have found that researchers have mainly considered environmental mediators, paying little attention to non-environmental mediating mechanisms. Results also show differences in the influence of different GHRM practices on PEBW through different mediating mechanisms.
