Green HRM and Environmental Performance: AMO Framework, Infosys Evidence and Employee Outcomes
Abstract: Environmental sustainability has moved to the centre of corporate strategy, and Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has emerged as a credible vehicle for embedding ecological values into day-to-day organisational behaviour. This paper examines how five integrated HR practice dimensions green recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation, and employee involvement shape pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) and organisational citizenship behaviour for the environment (OCBE). Grounded in the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) framework and stakeholder theory, the analysis draws on a narrative synthesis of empirical studies published between 2013 and 2024 and a longitudinal case analysis of Infosys Limited's Green Workforce Program (2019-2023). Meta-analytic evidence confirms meaningful positive relationships between composite GHRM and environmental performance (r = .38, p < .001) and between GHRM and employee PEB (r = .44, p < .001). Infosys sustainability data document a 51.5% reduction in absolute carbon emissions across five consecutive reporting years, alongside consistent gains in energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste recycling. A conceptual framework is proposed tracing the AMO-mediated pathway from GHRM practices through PEB and OCBE to organisational and employee-level outcomes. Organisational culture and industry type are identified as significant moderators. Limitations and directions for future research in emerging-economy contexts are discussed.
