Abstract

Purpose: Recent reports suggest that business communities are increasingly aware of the significance of environmental issues. The adoption of green human resource management (GHRM) is now seen as essential for businesses, as the human resource department is pivotal in promoting eco-friendly practices. This study investigates the GHRM practices of Wipro that influence employees green ' behaviours, both within and outside their formal roles.

 Design/methodology/approach - The information was gathered from secondary data from Wipro official websites, their annual reports, internal and external data.

Findings - The study findings revealed a notable direct impact of GHRM practices on employees' environmentally friendly actions. Consequently, it can be inferred that Green HRM is playing a pivotal role in reshaping traditional management approaches, with deliberate endeavours to safeguard habitats for future generations.

Practical implications - The environmentally friendly actions of employees need thorough assessment, and their conduct should be synchronized with salary increments and career advancements. Employers should inspire and incentivize their staff to engage in eco-friendly initiatives and play a part in environmental stewardship.

Specifically focusing on the IT sector, the study illuminates the relatively unexplored relationship between green HRM practices and employee conduct. By delving into this area, the research contributes to a better grasp of both green HRM initiatives and employee attitudes, both within and outside their formal roles.
