ABSTRACT:
This research investigates the link between environment’s factor and green human resources management (HRM) practices in the Odisha health care organization, including recruiting and selection, training and development, green incentives. A questionnaire survey that was sent to health care organizations in Odisha between March and May 2022 is used to test the study hypotheses. The findings indicate a modest adoption of green human resource management in Odisha hospitals; recruiting and selection showed the highest association, while training and development showed the lowest. Additionally, a statistically significant correlation between the three HRM practises and environmental performance was discovered. To lessen the staggering effects of uncontrolled aspects in the study, such as legislative, cultural, and economic settings, we made the design choice to concentrate on a specific sector. This research, which is said to be the first of its kind in Odisha, explores the role that human resources play in hospitals and other healthcare facilities in delivering environmental performance. It supports the body of literature on environmental preservation and green human resource management, which is underdeveloped in developing nations like (Odisha), India. Keywords-Organizational performance; Green HRM; Performance appraisal; training and development.
