Abstract
Abstract
In recent years, numerous environmental concerns have emerged due to rapid economic growth and development. Various companies and governments have recognized the importance of environmental sustainability for economic and social development. This study aims to investigate the role of green human resource management (GHRM) in the relationship between top management's green commitment, green intellectual capital, and employees' environmentally friendly behavior in hotels of Yazd province. The current applied research employs a descriptive-correlational method, with data collected from 101 employees of hotels in Yazd province (from an initial sample of 160) using convenience sampling. The data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results demonstrated that both top management's green commitment and green intellectual capital had a significant positive impact on GHRM. This mediating variable, in turn, significantly and positively influenced employees' environmentally friendly behavior.
