This study examined the influence of green human resource management (GHRM) on information technology employees' environmentally friendly performance and eco-friendly conduct. This study also investigated the mediating role of organizational commitment on the nexus between GHRM and employees’ environmentally friendly and eco-friendly behavior. The data were gathered via a structured questionnaire. Data normality and questionnaire internal consistency and reliability were assessed measuring Chronbach’s alpha statistic, which reveals the data were normally distributed, and the questionnaire maintained internal consistency and reliability. 500 valid responses were analyzed and four reflective constructs, organizational commitment, green human resource management, organizations’ environmental performance, and employees’ eco-friendly behavior, were assessed via exploratory, confirmatory factor analysis, and hypotheses were tested via structural equation modeling analysis. The impact of green human resources was positive and statistically significant for all the study variables. Employees’ eco-friendly behavior has a positive and statistically significant impact on IT organizations’ environmental performance. Organizational commitment partially mediated the relationships between green human resource management and organizations’ eco-friendly behavior and environmental performance. The data were gathered using convenience sampling which is fast, cost-effective, easy and suitable for our research. However, the limitations, bias and generalizability were handled through common method bias and the size of 500 is very large for SEM studies and results can be generalizable to some extent. The results have several practical implications for green organizations in terms of recruiting, training, and reducing carbon footprints.
