Analysing the barriers to green human resource management in the manufacturing industry
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=134975
The concept of 'green human resource management' (GHRM) gives organisations human resource practices that are favourable to the environment. GHRM are effective options for achieving the organisation's environmental objectives. The GHRM practices can be implemented in the manufacturing sectors, although there are major barriers. The purpose of this article is to identify the barriers using a literature review and, with the help of industry professionals, further analysis of the relationships between the identified barriers. This article focuses on identifying the barriers to the implementation of GHRM practices in the manufacturing sectors. A cause-and-effect relationship diagram was created using a fuzzy DEMATEL technique. Ten barriers were grouped into cause-and-effect groups, and the relationships between the barriers were also examined. Seven of these variables belong to the effect group, while the other three belong to the cause group. Lack of environmental knowledge and a lack of government support and direction are the two most important factors.

Does digitalisation policy really help with corporate CE? Evidence from Chinese manufacturing companies
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=134977
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, are considered a major cause of global warming, and carbon emission reduction has become a vital agenda of the global community. Using data from Chinese manufacturing enterprises from 2011 to 2018, we examine the effects of digital finance on corporate CE. The results show that digital finance impedes corporate CE, but corporate environmental sensitivity could alleviate this inhibitory effect. This finding is robust to various tests, including the instrumental variable approach and difference-in-differences propensity score matching estimates (PSM-DID). Additional tests reveal that digital finance reduces companies' investment in tangible assets, lowering corporate CE. Our findings have significant policy implications for the impact of digital finance and promote an understanding of the relationship between digital finance and corporate CE reduction. The above results provide a valuable reference for COP26 policy discussions on addressing climate change.

Influences of socio-demographic and economic factors on road commuting behaviours
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=134976
The present study investigates the characteristics of drivers who commute using conventional vehicles on urban roads when the talk of the town is environmental protection. Further, a nonlinear canonical correlation analysis is applied to determine the set of correlated socio-demographic and economic factors which affect behavioural changes while commuting on urban roads. Out of 385 respondents, 167 (43.4%) are habituated to follow ancestors' way of driving due to privacy, comfort, and convenience. The survey respondents cautioned the careless and self-enjoyable urban road commuters and suggested a proper penalty from the travel board authorities. The present study adopts a newer quantitative approach of research methodology different from the usual regression analysis and this approach is an eye-opener to the body of knowledge.

Leveraging social media influencers for environmental activism in Kyrgyzstan
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=134979
This study explores Kyrgyz citizens' attitudes towards pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) and the potential influence of social media influencers in promoting PEB. Surveying 1,455 respondents in Kyrgyzstan, a nation grappling with air pollution and government corruption, the study employs the theory of planned behaviour to gauge citizens' PEB intentions and how to enhance them. The research reveals that PEB is often driven by self-interest, notably respondents' health concerns. Educating people about pollution's health hazards can boost PEB, given its severe effects, including respiratory infections and premature death. Social norms also shape PEB intentions. Leveraging influencers for PEB promotion can foster a more favourable environmental attitude. Targeting women in future environmental campaigns is advisable, as they exhibit a stronger inclination towards PEB and influencer followings. The study underscores citizen action's significance in driving environmental change, especially in corruption prone nations like Kyrgyzstan. Environmental communication emerges as a potent tool for PEB promotion, underlining the theory of planned behaviour's crucial role in understanding and encouraging pro-environmental behaviour.
