Abstract:
This paper investigates the effect of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on the
job satisfaction of non-executive employees in a leading eco-friendly hotel in Sri Lanka. Drawing on the growing
interest in sustainability within the hospitality industry, the study examines four core GHRM practices, green
recruitment and selection, green performance management, green training and development, and green reward
management and their influence on employee job satisfaction. A quantitative research design was employed, using
a structured questionnaire distributed among 100 non-executive employees. Statistical techniques including
reliability testing, descriptive analysis, regression, correlation, and ANOVA were applied using SPSS. The
findings reveal that all four GHRM practices are positively and significantly correlated with job satisfaction, with
green recruitment emerging as a particularly critical factor. These results suggest that hiring environmentally
conscious employees and integrating sustainable practices throughout HR functions can improve employee morale
and, consequently, organizational performance. The study contributes to the existing literature by bridging the gap
between environmental sustainability initiatives and the human element in organizations, while providing practical
recommendations for HR professionals to foster a culture of sustainability that enhances job satisfaction and
overall productivity.
