Figure 1: Theoretical framework – Green human resources management and organizational sustainability IV. M ethodology a) Context of the study Indian Metro Hyderabad with more than 10 million population hosts more than 500 information technology, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), IT- enabled and E-commerce companies and about 1 million are employed in these companies. The information technology business exports nearing US $ 20 billion and contribute about 8% to Indian GDP (https: / /telanganatoday.com/telangana-it-exports-to-cross-rs- 1-4-lakh-cr). Though some studies were carried out on green human resources management, the studies restricted employee environment performance and eco- friendly behaviour. There is scarce literature on organizational sustainability with green human resources management. The study was carried out the surveying Information Technology sector employee of Hyderabad. b) Measurement The data was gathered using a structured undisguised questionnaire using a Likert-type five-point scale. The Green HRM (GHRM, 6 items); Employee eco- friendly behavior (EEFB, 7 items); Employee environment-friendly response (EEFR, 7 items) following the model of Kim et al., (2019); whereas organizational sustainability is a multidimensional concept with three factors social performance (SOCP, 6 items), economic performance (ECOP, 6 items) and environmental performance (ENVP, 10 items) using the model adopted from Chow and Chen (2012; Zhu et al., 2018; 2016). c) Data collection The research instrument, the survey questionnaire was published on google forms and the link was provided to about 5000 IT sector employees of various IT companies in the Hyderabad metro. Out of 5000 questionnaires we have received the responses from 984 employees, for data analysis, only 924 were considered, whereas the other 60 responses were incomplete and were not considered for the study. The estimated sample size (Cochran, 1977) for the unknown population is 385; however, the study used 924 responses. The demographic characteristics were presented in Table 1. d) Results The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM; SPSS ver 27) was used for data analysis. The PLS-SEM model estimates contingent variables to measure the effect of employee eco-friendly behaviour as a mediator between GHRM and organizational sustainability. The inner and outer models were examined using PLS-SEM (Hair et. al.,2017; Ringle et al., 2015).
