- Green HRM’s Effect on Employees’ Eco-Friendly Behavior and Green Performance: A Study in the Portuguese Tourism SectorPublication . Gomes, Daniel; Ribeiro, Neuza; Gomes, Gabriela; Ortega, Eduardo; Semedo, AnaThis study examines how Green Human Resource Management practices improve employees’ eco-friendly behavior and green performance, and the mediator effect of affective commitment in these relationships. Our sample included 449 employees, from different Portuguese tourism organizations. The results demonstrate that the implementation of Green Human Resource Management practices produces a positive effect on eco-friendly behavior, green performance, and affective commitment, with commitment mediating the mentioned relationship. Therefore, when organizations apply greener Human Resources Management, they might influence positively the attitudes and behaviors of their employees, improving their affective commitment and, consequently, their eco-friendly behaviors and green performance. This research is innovative as it integrates Green Human Resource Management, eco-friendly behavior, green performance, and affective commitment in a single research model, expanding the knowledge over these topics, and suggesting that organizations should establish Green Human Resource Management policies, especially those that strengthen employees’ affective attachment and improve their eco-friendly behavior as well as the organization’s green performance.
- Green Human Resource Management and ISO 14001: Toward Environmental Sustainability in OrganizationsPublication . Ortega, Eduardo; Coelho, Arnaldo; Ribeiro, NeuzaThe current climate change scenario imposes urgent challenges to different economic sectors around the world, requiring companies to adopt new strategies to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) while enhancing environmental awareness. In this sense, green human resource management (GHRM) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 can lead to a reduction in the environmental impact caused by business activities. The growing need for decision-makers to ensure a company's competitive position in the market invites managers to integrate people management as an active component of corporate sustainability efforts. By demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, companies can contribute to economic growth, individual well-being, and environmental preservation. The purpose of this study is to analyze current knowledge on GHRM and ISO 14001 and their intersection, providing directions for future research. The literature review was conducted using the PRISMA methodology and bibliometric analysis (performance analysis and scientific mapping) with data from Web of Science and Scopus. The final dataset comprised 520 articles on GHRM and 12 about GHRM and ISO 14001. The results show the growth of the topics in the academic community, especially in countries located in East, South, and Southeast Asia and in Brazil. The most studied economic sectors are tourism, hospitality, and manufacturing. Future research trends indicate a greater inclusion of people in the corporate ecological objectives of different economic activities. The integration of GHRM and ISO 14001 seems to help mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development. The conclusions highlight the importance of implementing GHRM, especially in ISO 14001 organizations, to obtain the active participation of employees in environmental preservation. These ecological practices seem to strengthen the company's image, making it more attractive and helping them to retain talent. This study provides insights for academics, professionals, and policymakers and is a pioneering study in investigating two themes simultaneously.
- Rethinking Management and Economics in the (New) 20’sPublication . Santos, Eleonora; Ribeiro, Neuza; Eugénio, Teresa; Ferreira, Alcina Gaspar; Ortega, EduardoThe International Conference of Applied Research in Management and Economics (ICARME) under the topic of "Rethinking Management and Economics in the (New) 20's", took place on June 29 - July 1, at Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão (ESTG) of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (Portugal). The event was organized by the Center of Applied Research in Management and Economics (CARME). Rapid industrial and economic growth during the last few years has prompted broad debates among society and academics about new ways of doing business, where organizations must excel in dealing with a myriad of internal and external pressures, such as managing people, understanding consumers’ behavior, or coping with market trends. By building bridges between researchers, practitioners, community, and industry, ICARME aimed at promoting interdisciplinary research on emerging challenges in Management and Economics for the next decades. Researchers were able to share insights on recent research and cutting-edge methodologies, which gained tremendous interest with the presence of experts, young and bright researchers, business delegates, and talented student communities. The event promoted high-quality research, focusing on recent research efforts in the fields of Management and Economics, as well on future research avenues and challenges.
- The Impact of Green HRM on Employees’ Eco-Friendly Behavior: The Mediator Role of Organizational IdentificationPublication . Ribeiro, Neuza; Gomes, Daniel Roque; Ortega, Eduardo; Gomes, G.; Semedo, Ana SuzeteThis study sought to explore the impact of green human resource management on organizational identification and employees’ eco-friendly behavior, as well as the mediating role of organizational identification in the relationship between green human resource management and employees’ eco-friendly behavior. To achieve the study objectives, a cross-sectional quantitative study was developed, for which the data were obtained through a structured questionnaire containing the measures of the study variables. Data were collected from 235 employees from several Portuguese tourism organizations participating in the study. The Harman test and bootstrapping were applied previously to the assessment of the results. The mediation study’s hypothesis was evaluated using Baron and Kenny’s linear regression method, and subsequently complemented using the Sobel test. The findings showed that the implementation of green HRM practices in tourism organizations has a positive impact on employees’ eco-friendly behavior and on organizational identification, with the latter mediating the relationship between green human resource management and employees’ eco-friendly behavior. The study is breaking new ground because it incorporates the impact of green human resource management on organizational identification and employees’ eco-friendly behavior in a single research model, thus expanding knowledge on the subject, namely in the tourism sector in Portugal
