Abstract
Banking organizations are adopting green practices to mitigate their ecologically hazardous impacts. This study aims to investigate the effects of green human resource management (GHRM) on the least explored types of employee ecological behaviors: eco-helping and eco-civic engagement. It does this by drawing on the social exchange theory (SET) and the self-determination theory (SDT). Additionally, it looks at the effects of GHRM in the presence of environmental managerial support (EMS) as a conditional factor. Employing a purposive sampling approach, the research model was validated based on data from a judiciously chosen sample size of 875 respondents who worked for Pakistani Islamic banks, PLS-SEM was employed for conducting statistical analysis. The results revealed that both eco-helping and eco-civic engagement were positively impacted by GHRM, and eco-helping and eco-civic engagement associations with GHRM were positively moderated by EMS. One-of-a-kind in its exploration of the conditional role of EMS on the integrated relationship of GHRM practices with eco-helping and eco-civic engagement, this study adds to the body of knowledge. It also provides evidence from the understudied Islamic banking sector, which is crucial to the transition of nations toward sustainable evolution.
