Abstract: Recent literature acknowledges that business entities nowadays focus greatly on environmental issues. Human resource management occupies a noteworthy place in making organisations green or environment oriented. This study investigates the direct impact of green HRM practices on employee pro environmental behaviour. Green HRM has little effect on employee pro-environmental behaviour, notably in IT. Accordingly, this research aims to dissect the influencing role of green HRM practices like green recruitment, green training, green performance management, and green incentives on pro-environmental behaviour among IT workers. The data was collected from IT employees in India using survey technique. This study attempts to find out whether there is significance among green HRM practices and pro environmental behaviour. The extent of the relationship is detailed through statistical analyses. The relationship that exists between green recruitment, green training, and green performance management is analysed in this study.

Keywords: information technology sector; green HRM; pro environmental behaviour; IT employees.
