Abstract: This study aims to find out the relationship between Green Human Resource
Management (GHRM) and Employee Eco-friendly Behavior (EEB) and the mediating role
of Employee Organizational Commitment (EOC) in this relationship. Presently, many issues
of Green HRM have an impact on organizations, i.e., environmental idea-sharing programs,
participation of employees in environment management, use of green performance indicators,
and the use of functional teams to implement environmental plans and strategies. There is a
positive trend among businesses to start reporting the performance of Green HRM. It has collected
data from 242 employees of private commercial banks. A self-administered questionnaire has
been distributed among the participants. It has used a bootstrapping procedure to estimate the
path coefficient within reflective PLS-SEM. The findings of this research indicate that employee
organizational commitment fully mediates the relationship between Green HRM and Employee
Eco-friendly Behavior. It accentuates the application of green human resource practices to
ensure employee organizational commitment that ultimately results in the environment-friendly
behavior of employees
Keywords: Green Human Resource Management, Employee Eco-friendly Behavior,
Employee Organizational Commitment, and Social Identity Theory.
