Background: This paper examines the academic citizenship behaviour mediating the effect between green compensation and rewards, green recruitment and selection, and organization environmental performance in Jordanian government universities.
Methods: The paper contributes to filling this research gap by examining these effects. A sample of 404 employees in the Jordanian Government universities was analysed using contemporary variance-based structural equation modeling (Amos - SEM) software.
Results: The results indicated a positive association between green compensation and rewards and two variables, namely academic citizenship behavior, and organization environmental performance. They also indicated a positive association between green recruitment and selection and two variables: academic citizenship behavior and organization environmental performance. As well as between academic citizenship behavior and organization environmental performance. Furthermore, they showed mediating effects of academic citizenship behavior in the relationship between green compensation and rewards and organization environmental performance and between green recruitment and selection and organization environmental performance.
Conclusion: This paper helps to provide insights to HRM practitioners, shedding light on the importance of GHRM practices and their role in enhancing organization environmental performance.
