Green Human Resource Management, Quality of Work Life, Individual Green Values, Project Citizenship Behavior, Green Employee EmpowermentAbstract
Considering the behavioral aspects of project-based organizations, this study aims to measure the impact of Green human resource management (GHRM) on project citizenship behavior in the construction industry of Punjab, Pakistan. Another overarching objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of quality of work life and green employee empowerment on project citizenship behavior. Following the deductive approach and positivism research philosophy, data was collected from 217 professionals working in the construction sector of Punjab, Pakistan. SPSS and Amos were used to analyze the data. Analysis of moderation and mediation is performed by Process Macro version 23 by Hayes. The findings of this paper reveal that GHRM practices positively influence project citizenship behavior whereas green employee empowerment and quality of work life partially mediate the relationship between GHRM and project citizenship behavior. Moreover, individuals’ green value moderates the effects of green employee empowerment and quality of work life on project citizenship behavior. This study gives insight to the project manager as to the fact that implementing certain GHRM procedures along with empowering the project team and providing quality work life to the team having individual green values will motivate team members to perform citizenship behavior
