The Role of Green Human Resources Management In Promoting Sustainable Development In The Jordanian Service Companies Listed on the Amman Stock Exchange

Abstract

Green human resources management (GHRM) represents the process of generalizing and incorporating various environmental practices in the field of HR policy and is considered one of the most important elements of supporting sustainable development. Therefore, companies today must flexibly determine pro-environmental HR practices and the extent of their impact on sustainable development. This study aimed to determine GHRM practices for Jordanian service companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange to promote sustainable development. The study data was collected using the analytical and descriptive methodology. A random sample was selected including 383 administrative employees in 139 Jordanian service companies. Data were collected using an electronic questionnaire and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The statistical results showed that there is a strong positive relationship to the impact of GHRM in promoting sustainable development for Jordanian service companies. Based on the results, the study recommended the necessity of service companies adopting the concept of GHRM and its impact on sustainable development. It also recommended that the organization should actively work to promote constructive transformation within societal institutions and spread knowledge and awareness related to the impact of GHRM on sustainable development and thus call for its advancement.
