Abstract

Green human resource management represents a strategic fusion of environmental responsibility and human resource management, demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability through human resource policies and practices. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of green human resource management practices on enhancing green human capital in Egyptian hotels. The population of the study included all certified Green Star hotels in Egypt, which are 158 hotels distributed over 17 destinations country-wide. The target population for this study included all human resources managers in these hotels. A questionnaire form was used as a data collection tool. The total number of valid answered questionnaires reached 146 forms, representing 92.40% of the total distributed ones. SPSS-26 software was used to analyze the collected data. The correlation and regression results of this study showed that four variables “green recruitment and selection”, " green training and development", “green reward and compensation” and "green employee empowerment and participation" have a significant impact on green human capital. Results also clarified that only one variable "green performance management and appraisal" has no impact on green human capital. This study recommended the necessity of establishing an environmental management culture by integrating environmental issues into the recruitment process in order to attract green job candidates who have knowledge of environmental management standards when applying for advertised jobs, thus contributing to enhancing green human capital in Green Star hotels.
