ANTECEDENTS, OUTCOMES, AND BOUNDARIES OF GREEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW
(Fundacao Getulio Vargas, 2023-06-30) Murillo-Ramos, Lydia; Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; García-Muiña, Fernando E.
Green human resource management (GHRM) is a crucial element of the globally trending topic of green management. Although GHRM has received considerable research attention in recent years, confusion remains regarding its antecedents, the social, and psychological processes through which GHRM influences employee behavior, and the potential outcomes to be derived from its use. This paper aims to disentangle and summarize the components that have been explored in the GHRM-performance relationship. To achieve these goals, we conduct a systematic review based on the preferred reporting items method and then present a series of theoretical approaches to stimulate new debates on theory building and its subsequent use in GHRM research. We also carefully explain information on organizational and employee-level factors that motivate and hinder GHRM and display this information in a visual framework. The implications for practice provide focused recommendations to help managers understand how to create favorable conditions for enhancing sustainability performance. The gaps identified should open the way to new lines of research that still need attention.

Exploring the cornerstones of green, sustainable and socially responsible human resource management
(emerald insight, 2022-10-05) Murillo-Ramos, Lydia; Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; García-Muiña, Fernando E.
•Purpose: To delineate the fast-growing path of HRM research with a sustainable orientation and resolve confusion over the differences and interdependences of the various approaches that have emerged: green human resource management (GHRM), sustainable human resource management (Sustainable HRM), and socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM). •Design/methodology/approach: Bibliometrics and science mapping were used to analyze the field’s conceptual structure based on 587 related documents extracted from the ISI Web of Science database. Co-word analysis with SciMAT software enabled us to map the main themes studied and identify their evolution, importance, and relevance. •Findings: SR-HRM is the least-developed of the three approaches analyzed and has been overlooked by the journals that publish the most work in the field of HR. We identify a lack of sustainability-related HRM studies on higher education and an ongoing need both to explore the role of culture in GHRM implementation and to explain further the potential non-green behavioral outcomes that can result from its use. •Originality: Explores in detail the interrelations among various emerging sustainable human resource approaches and subtopics derived from them to reveal hotspots, dilemmas, paradoxes, and research gaps. •Practical implications: Demonstrates how human resource factors are key to managing challenges such as aging workforce, unstable employment relationships, implementation of green supply chain management, and Industry 4.0.
Fostering employee promotive voice in hospitality: The impact of responsible leadership
(Elsevier, 2023) Seray Özkan, Osman; Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; Üzüm, Burcu
Promotive voice refers to employees sharing novel ideas or suggestions aimed at improving the functioning of their work unit or organization. However, in many cases, employees reserve their contribution of constructive ideas for situations where they feel their contributions are acknowledged and appreciated by their managers. The manager’s leadership style is therefore of utmost importance in fostering employee voice. Responsible leadership has thus become desirable in service contexts, where conflicting interests arise among stakeholders, but little is known about this leadership style in hospitality. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, we explore how and when responsible leadership fosters employee promotive voice. A time-lagged survey collected data from 392 five-star hotel employees in Turkey. Testing a moderated mediation model using partial least squares showed that responsible leadership increases employees’ relational energy, generating greater promotive voice in hotel settings; furthermore, prevalent law and code climate strengthens responsible leadership’s effect on relational energy.
Green human resource management in hospitality: nurturing green voice behaviors through passion and mindfulness
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2024-01-09) Murillo-Ramos, Lydia; Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; García-Muiña, Fernando E.
This study uses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to explore the nexus between green human resource management (GHRM) practices and employee green voice behaviors in the Spanish hospitality sector. Using a sample of 308 Spanish hotel employees, the findings indicate that employees' perception of GHRM practices significantly predicts green voice behavior development and is positively associated with harmonious environmental passion. Employees' GHRM perception substantially impacts organizational green mindfulness, positively influencing harmonious environmental passion. The study unveils complementary partial mediation, showcasing the significant and indirect impact of GHRM practices on green voice behaviors through harmonious environmental passion and organizational green mindfulness. Theoretical contributions involve introducing novel psychosocial processes that motivate and influence the interaction between GHRM and employees’ green behaviors. Meanwhile, practical implications underscore the role of GHRM in fostering a shared green vision and empowering employees for actively engaging in environmental sustainability within the hospitality sector.
Industry 4.0-based dynamic Social Organizational Life Cycle Assessment to target the social circular economy in manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2021-10-25) García-Muiña, Fernando E.; Medina-Salgado, Maria-Sonia; González-Sánchez, Rocío; Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; Ferrari, Anna-Maria; Settembre-Blundo, Davide
Nowadays in manufacturing, the topic of sustainability plays a key role. However, over the years, economic crises and the climate change debate have focused the attention of scholars, industrialists and policy makers mainly on environmental sustainability, putting social sustainability on the back burner. This is also evident in the scientific literature which highlights several knowledge gaps. The digital transition of factories and Industry 4.0 technologies have not yet been fully exploited to correlate production and social metrics. As a result, there is a lack of adequate tools for monitoring social performance in the factory environment. In this context, the social dimension of the circular economy is still an under-researched topic. This study aims to fill these gaps by integrating Social Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (SO-LCA) and Industry 4.0 technologies in a blended methodological approach designed to dynamically monitor the social performance of a major manufacturing industry. Using primary data, a set of site-specific social indicators and indexes were created to assess the organization’s social impact against key stakeholder categories and subcategories. Finally, within that set, those social metrics that the organization considers essential to moving toward the circular economy were identified. Therefore, this study, has contributed to fill the literature gaps by demonstrating that the digitization of production processes, not only enables the assessment of environmental impact, but can also play a key role in knowing the social performance of a manufacturing organization and to identify the hidden social dimension in the circular economy.
Social Life-Cycle Assessment: A Review by Bibliometric Analysis
(MDPI, 2020) Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; Ferrari, Anna Maria; Settembre-Blundo, Davide; García-Muiña, Fernando E.
This study examined the literature on social life-cycle assessment (S-LCA) published in the last 15 years (2003–2018) using bibliometric methods. Applying scientific mapping and analyzing publication performance, the study describes the structure of and trends in S-LCA publications in terms of related subject categories, authors, journals, countries, and highly cited articles. Challenges and research gaps in the S-LCA literature were also explored. The content of related papers published in the ISIWeb of Science databases was examined to identify the main themes investigated, evolution of publication activity, and most representative elements. Analyses were conducted with SciMAT software. This tool enables researchers to map research specialties by extracting qualitative information in the specialized literature and representing it using quantitative measures. The results show rapid and exponential growth of the S-LCA research line in the past ten years, with a clear upward trend in related publications (mostly case studies), especially after publication of the UNEP/SETAC Guidelines for Social Life Cycle Assessment of Products in 2009: 66% of all articles published on S-LCA were published during the period 2015–2018, primarily by European authors. The findings also delineate S-LCA as a highly fragmented research field that has been applied to diverse sectors (agriculture, bioenergy, transport, water management, chemical products, electronics, etc.), mainly in non-European countries. Critical questions concerning methods, framework, paradigms, and indicators remain to be resolved. This study provides insight into the publication performance of S-LCA, characterizing its intellectual structure and salient authors and works. In identifying hotspots in the S-LCA research, the study provides a useful state-of-the-art reference guide for academics and reveals critical research gaps and potential research avenues for future studies to advance in consolidating the discipline.
Social Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (SO-LCA) and Organization 4.0: An easy-to-implement method
(Elsevier, 2022) García-Muiña, Fernando; Medina-Salgado, Maria-Sonia; González-Sánchez, Rocío; Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; Ferrari, Anna Maria; Settembre-Blundo, Davide
Organizations often face difficulties when measuring their social performance. The lack of international standards, the qualitative/quantitative nature of data, and the unavailability of primary sources all hinder social impact assessments, especially in manufacturing settings. To fill these gaps, the method proposes a simple application protocol of Social Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (SO-LCA), customized for an Italian ceramic tile manufacturer. The method leverages Industry 4.0 digital technologies to collect real-time primary and site- specific social data, making the social assessment dynamic. The managerial approach adopted for the selection of social metrics and weighting of indicators and indexes, can support the transition of the manufacturing organization into Organization 4.0. The method also provides a contribution to the operational validation of the UNEP guidelines by extending their area of application. Finally, the proposed method gives substance to social responsibility through social accounting, helping the organization to measure the correct social impact starting from the detailed data, namely the decisions made in the business and in production.
Understanding leadership styles and effects in hospitality: A co-word analysis
(SAGE, 2023-11-17) González-Torres, Thais; Nájera-Sánchez, Juan José; Huertas-Valdivia, Irene; Pérez-Pérez, Cristina
This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to provide a complete and comparative study ofc leadership styles in hospitality literature published in recent decades. Two curated databases (Web of Science and Scopus) were chosen and combined to perform a co-word analysis to detect the main themes related to leadership in hospitality. This method analyzes the co-occurrence of topics in documents. The analysis yielded seven thematic clusters. Transformational and servant leadership and abusive supervision are the most widely researched leadership styles in hospitality and are associated with employee outcomes such as job, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and commitment. Employee outcomes such as creativity and innovation seem to be receiving research attention. This review reveals a need to focus research on underexplored styles such as paradoxical, spiritual, or responsible leadership.
