A descriptive paragraph of the project:
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are an urgent call for action for a global partnership that involves not only nations, but also organizations and individuals. Theoretically, sustainability has been framed by the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach, which comprises three dimensions: economic, social, and environmental. Scientific research has been following this megatrend and, although there is an increasing attention on TBL, sustainability and its outcomes, literature on the effects of organizational actions on employees’ attitudes and behaviors is still scarce and, as stated by Sitka (2023), disorganized. The first main goal of our project, through study 1, is to select the measures from each of the respective TBL and adapt them to the Portuguese context and language. More than a new buzzword, sustainability is a must, as it highlights the relevance of daily choices (Rehman et al., 2020). The Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) is defined as the activities developed by the HRM system to increase employees’ environmental supporting behaviors (Tanova and Bayighomog, 2022). However, there is a line of research that also study its dark side and it is when organizations engage in greenwashing, misleading the internal and external stakeholders about their environmental performance or the environmental benefits of a product or service (Delmas and Burbano, 2011). Through study 2 we aim to verify the role of greenwashing in the relationship between GHRM and the TBL dimensions.
