Background: Green human resource management strategies are practices in organizations that focus on the human
side of environmental management to promote organizational performance and innovativeness. Aim: This study
aimed to investigate the relation between green human resource management strategies and organizational
innovativeness among head nurses. Research Design: Descriptive correlational research design was utilized.
Setting: Medical and surgical buildings, Benha University Hospital. Subjects: all available head nurses (60) who are
working on the above mentioned setting. Tools: Two main tools namely (I) Green Human Resource Management
Strategies Questionnaire and (II) Organizational Innovativeness Questionnaire. Results: slightly more than two
thirds (66.7%) of head nurses had high perception level toward green human resource management strategies and the
majority (90.0%) of them perceived high level of organizational innovativeness. Conclusion: There was highly
statistically significant correlation between total head nurses' perception of green human resource management
strategies and total organizational innovativeness. Recommendations: Nurse Managers should link green rewards
and compensation with environmentally friendly behavior and performance and further research needs to be
conducted to identify challenges facing implementation of GHRM strategies in health care setting |
