Abstract

As environmental issues intensify, there is a global focus on environmental protection and green development. This study investigates the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on employees' green behaviors and the potential mechanisms involved, targeting 600 employees and middle managers from high-star hotels in Yunnan, Beijing, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. The results indicate that GHRM positively influences employees' green behaviors, with organizational culture mediating this relationship. These findings could provide valuable recommendations for the hotel industry in China.
