Abstract :
Green human resource development is a new approach to job design that is based on employee innovation and if it is done based on economic, social and environmental goals, it can ultimately lead to sustainable production. Due to the importance and scope of the subject of this study, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of green human resource development on sustainable production in manufacturing companies. The present study is a cross-sectional research in terms of exploratory purpose and method and time period of data collection. The statistical population in the qualitative part includes 19 experts in the field of human resource development and active managers of Shiraz Industrial Park and in the quantitative part includes the staff of Shiraz Industrial Park. The sample size was estimated to be 212 people using Morgan table and sampling was done by simple random method. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire that was validated by structural validity, convergent validity and divergent validity. Using Cronbach's alpha and combined reliability, the reliability of the questionnaire was as desirable. The partial least squares method and Smart PLS software were used to validate the green HR development model. Based on the results, it was found that the development of green human resources affects green self-efficacy, green behavior of employees and green citizenship behavior. Green behavior of employees as an important factor in this regard also affects green citizenship behavior and self-efficacy and affects sustainable production.
