Abstract : This empirical investigation investigates the strategic incorporation of environmental leadership development and training in green skills within sustainable human resource management (Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM)) frameworks, addressing a significant gap in contemporary organizational development literature. This study develops and validates a comprehensive implementation framework for environmental leadership programs and training in green skills initiatives through a rigorous mixed-method research design, incorporating quantitative data from 250 organizations and qualitative insights from 25 sustainability leaders.
This study investigates the strategic integration of environmental leadership development and green skills training within Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM) frameworks. Through a mixed-methods approach, we developed and validated a comprehensive implementation framework.
Our findings reveal a significant correlation between integrated environmental leadership programs and enhanced organizational performance, leading to improved ecological performance and employee engagement. We propose the Environmental Leadership and Green Skills Integration (ELGSI) Model, a novel framework to guide organizations in developing environmental capabilities. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding and practical application of SHRM, offering evidence-based guidelines for practitioners.
