Abstract

Green human resources management has a most important effect on employees as it reinforces and upsurges their performance. Because of limited but inconsistent findings from previous studies, it is apparent that more studies are needed to examine green human resource practices in organizations. Therefore, it is important to examine how green human resources practices influences business performance in telecommunication companies in Bahrain. Particularly, the study investigates the impacts of green recruitment and selection, green training and development, and green reward and compensation toward the performance of the telecommunication companies working in Bahrain (STC, Batelco and Zain). The data have been collected using a structured questionnaire from 203 employees from the three companies. The findings indicate that the recruitment and selection, training and development, and reward and compensation have a positive and significant influence on firm’s performance. This indicates that every positive development and improvement of human resource green competencies will lead to a positive development and improvement in firm’s performance.
