Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed to explore the impact of green human resource
management on corporate sustainability, with a focus on the function of environmental
performance as a moderator and the perspective of sports organizations employees’
empowerment in Fars province.
Methods: This research is applied in terms of purpose and correlational descriptive
survey in terms of the data collection method. The statistical population consisted of 4047
employees working at sports organizations in Fars province, and the sample size was 395
utilizing the stratified sampling method, optimal allocation, and Cochran’s formula. The
standard questionnaires of organizational resources management by Sakhavalkar and Tadani
(2013), corporate sustainability by Karkolian et al., (2015), environmental performance by
Madersgloo and Altanlar (2011), and Spritzer’s staff empowerment (1995) were employed to
conduct the current study.
Results: Sports management authorities approved the face and content validities of the
questionnaire prepared for this investigation. In addition, the Cronbach’s alpha method
was used to calculate its reliability which were 96%, 46%, 68%, and 64% for green resource
management, corporate sustainability, environmental performance, and empowerment,
respectively. The data were statistically analyzed using structural equation modeling. Green
human resource standards affect the sustainability, according to the findings, with a path
coefficient of 0.364. Environmental performance and empowerment were found to have
a mediating function concerning green human resources and sustainability, with path
coefficients of 0.476 and 0.434, respectively.
Conclusion: Considering green human resources by relying on environmental performance
and employee empowerment is one method of ensuring the sustainable development of
sports organizations.
