Abstract
This study examines the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on
the sustainability of commercial banks in Nepal. GHRM involves environmentally
conscious HR practices and the efficient use of organizational resources to achieve
sustainability goals. The research objectives are to assess the implementation of GHRM
practices, analyze the relationship between GHRM and sustainable performance, and
evaluate the moderating role of employee performance. A sample of 300 respondents
was surveyed using both online Google Forms and printed questionnaires. The
collected data were analyzed using SPSS software, employing correlation and
regression analysis to derive insights.
The findings underscore the critical role of GHRM activities like green recruitment,
training, and remuneration in fostering a sustainable organizational culture. The study
highlights the need for a holistic approach to GHRM implementation, as it directly
influences employee performance and long-term organizational sustainability.
Moreover, while Green Training and Development exhibited the highest reliability,
Employee Performance and Organizational Sustainability had lower reliability scores
signaling a need for refined measurement tools.
This research fills a critical gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence on
how GHRM practices influence sustainability in Nepalese commercial banks. The
study offers practical insights for HR managers, policymakers, and financial
institutions, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement and consistent
application of green principles. It advocates for stronger integration of GHRM
activities, improved recruitment strategies, and the adoption of green business practices
to achieve superior organizational performance and sustainability.
