How and When Does Socially Responsible HRM Affect Employees’ Organizational Citizenship Behaviors Toward the Environment?
Résumé
Based on the person-organization fit theory, this research aims to investigate how socially responsible HRM (SRHRM)
positively affects employees’ organizational citizenship behaviors toward the environment (OCBE) by increasing personorganization
fit. This study also captures the moderating effect of the perceived role of ethics and social responsibility (RESR)
in influencing the indirect effect of SRHRM on OCBE via person-organization fit. Data were collected from 302 employees
in a state-owned chain hotel in Shanghai, China. The results indicated that SRHRM indirectly influenced employee’s engagement
in OCBE through person-organization fit. The positive relationship between SRHRM and person-organization fit and
the indirect effect of SRHRM on OCBE via person-organization fit were more significant when employees hold high rather
than low levels of RESR. Research implications and prospects were also explored in this study.
