Abstract: In the recent era, environmental performance (EP) has gained the attention of academicians and practitioners. Green human resource management (GHRM) is considered very crucial as GHRM practices may help organisations to improve EP. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the impact of GHRM on EP in construction projects in Pakistan. Moreover, this study investigates the moderating effect of organisational culture (OC) on the relationship between GHRM practices and EP. Data were collected from the construction industry and structural equation modelling (SEM) through SmartPLS-3.3.5 was used to analyse the data. It is found that green recruitment (GR), green training (GT), and green compensation significantly influence EP whereas OC moderates the relationship between GR and EP but does not have any moderating effect on the relationships between GT, green compensation with EP.

Keywords: green human resource management; GHRM; green recruitment; green training; green compensation and benefits; organisational culture; environmental performance; structural equation modelling; SEM.
