Abstract :
Managing human resources in eco-friendly management of the hotels remains a relatively unexplored subject. The hotel industry is a sector that largely burdens the environment. Given the many environmental issues that the hotel industry created, sustainable business practices such as green human resource management is essential. This study examined the ways to improve employees’ eco-friendly behavior and hotels’ environmental performance through green human resource management. The paper followed an applied method with a descriptive-exploratory correlation approach. Exemplary samples of 236 hotel employees (concerned with environmental issues) were randomly selected in the cities of Tabriz, Tehran, and Mashhad. Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability were used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. To determine validity, we used convergent and divergent validity. The hypotheses of the research were tested using structural equation modeling. The findings showed that green human resource management had a positive and significant effect on the employees’ organizational commitment, eco-friendly behavior, and the hotels’ environmental performance. The organizational commitment, too, had a positive and significant effect on the employees’ eco-friendly behavior.
