This study aims to investigate two key areas. First, it examines the mediating role of green work engagement in the relationship between green human resource management practices (HRMPs) and green employee behaviour. Second, it explores how green individual values moderate the indirect relationship between green HRMPs and green employee behaviour through green work engagement.
A multi level structural equation modelling approach was adopted to analyse nested data collected from Indian IT and IT enabled services firms. The final sample comprised 62 human resource managers and 326 employees. Aggregation procedures and inter group agreement statistics justified the use of a multi level analytical framework. Data were analysed using Mplus software.
The results provide empirical support for a cross level mediation model, confirming that green HRMPs influence employee behaviour indirectly through green work engagement. Furthermore, green individual values strengthen this indirect effect, indicating that employees with strong environmental value orientations are more likely to translate organisational support into pro-environmental actions. The findings are grounded in social exchange theory, the job demands and resources model, and supply fit theory.
This study contributes to the literature by integrating organisational practices, psychological mechanisms and personal values within a multi level moderated mediation framework. The use of a multi level technique enables a more nuanced analysis of the interaction between organisational context and individual behaviour.
