Corporate social responsibility (CSR), particularly environmental management, has emerged as a global social norm. As the largest developing economy in the world, China faces significant challenges in addressing its environmental pollution. This book examines how Chinese enterprises, including both indigenous firms and foreign-owned organizations operating in China, utilize human resource management (HRM) to implement environmental management practices, known as green HRM.

Green HRM integrates HRM with environmental management and aims to achieve corporate green strategies by fostering opportunities and motivating employees to engage in environmental activities. This book explores the management of green recruitment and selection, green training, green performance management, and green pay and rewards in Chinese enterprises. It also investigates how green HRM influences organizational green and non-green workplace behaviors. By enriching the existing literature on green HRM practices and measures, this book contributes to our understanding of the employee organizational behavioral consequences of green HRM, a field that is relatively understudied.

The book offers practical implications for eliciting desirable employee green and non-green workplace behaviors through green HRM policies and practices. It appeals to a wide range of individuals interested in learning more about green HRM practices, the social and psychological processes through which green HRM influences employees, promotes green workplace behaviors, and enhances a firm's environmental performance.
