Abstract

This study will investigate the relationship between the implementation of GHRM practices and its impact on EP in medium to large-scale manufacturing firms in Cambodia, with GIMS as a moderating variable. The design of the present study was a cross-sectional survey that gathered responses from 217 managers from firms practicing GHRM. A culturally adapted and validated questionnaire was used. SEM analysis indicated significant associations among GHRM, GIMS, and EP. Results also indicate that GHRM practices improve not only environmental performance but also sustainability culture. The contribution of this study is that it adds to the literature on green organizational practices and provides various insights to managers and policymakers on the integration of environmental sustainability into business strategy.
