Background and Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of green human resource management in increasing the environmentally friendly behavior of employees and whether this can reduce the environmental damage of employees and improve the performance of hotels? Also, the intensity and weakness of these relationships have been studied in both groups of men and women.
Material and Methodology: This study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in nature, the standard questionnaire of Kim et al. (2019) was used. In this regard, a sample of 204 employees of 35 active hotels in Shiraz was studied. The research hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation modeling by Smart-PLS3.0 software.
Findings: The results indicate that Green human resource management has a positive and significant effect on environmentally friendly behavior (β = 0.423 and t =6.734) and also, on environmental performance (β =0.637 and t = 10.10) and also, environmentally friendly behavior mediates the relationship between the two variables of green human resource management and environmental performance (β =0.099 and t = 840, α = 0.005). It was also found that gender can not moderate the relationships between variables.
Discusion and Conclusion: Having environmentally friendly and supportive human resources not only enhances environmentally friendly behavior but also improves the environmental performance of hotels. There is no differece between men and women in this issue. Also, hotels that do not take steps to protect and preserve the environment, will be gradually rejected and will be less welcomed.
