Abstract :
Objective: Growing concerns about environmental issues and the emergence of international environmental standards have put increasing pressure on organizations to adopt environmentally friendly practices. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate the impact of green intellectual capital on the environmental actions of the Ministry of Sport and Youth with the mediating role of green human resource management.
Methods: The research method was descriptive and correlational, using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research was all employees of the Ministry of Sport and Youth, totaling 760 people. The sample size was determined to be 245 using the Cochran and Morgan table. Finally, after distribution and collection of data, 232 questionnaires were used for analysis. To measure the variables, the questionnaires of green intellectual capital by Chen (2008), green human resource management by Jabbar et al. (2011), and environmental performance by Kim et al. (2019) were used. The validity and reliability of these questionnaires were confirmed. For data analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations were used by LISREL software.
Results: The findings showed that green intellectual capital has a positive effect on green human resource management and environmental performance in the Ministry of Sport and Youth. Green human resource management has a positive effect on environmental performance in the Ministry of Sport and Youth. Green intellectual capital also has an indirect effect on environmental performance in the Ministry of Sport and Youth through green human resource management. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that green intellectual capital, by providing higher knowledge about environmental issues, can act as a driving force in the formation and implementation of green human resource management practices such as green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management and evaluation, and green rewards. This strengthens the environmental performance of employees.
Conclusions: Accordingly, it is recommended that the existence of green intellectual capital is necessary to strengthen the environmental performance of the Ministry of Sport and Youth.
