Abstract

This study delves into the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) practices on the sustainability performance of 385 automotive companies across the globe. To gauge GHRM, the study uses the Thomson Reuters Sustain-ability World Index, and for measuring corporate sustainability performance, it employs ESG scores from Bloomberg. Using a Resource-Based Theory (RBT) framework, this research assesses the degree to which GHRM practices are imple-mented in the automotive sector and how they impact sustainability performance. The study adopts a balanced panel data estimation approach, controlling for time and nation fixed effects, and uses the System-Generalized Method of Moments (System-GMM) to estimate the dynamic model. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between GHRM practices and corporate sustainability performance. The study concludes that pro-green HRM practices such as training, hiring, evaluation, and rewarding play a vital role in establishing a green organizational culture and improving sustainability performance in the automotive industry.
