Abstract
Purpose
The study aims to scrutinize the concomitant associations between corporate social responsibility (CSR), perceived organizational support (POS), green transformational leadership (GTL) and organizational performance (OP). This paper aims to explore the role of intervening variable to measure the strength on the relationship between CSR and OP.
Design/methodology/approach
This research administered a survey through self-administered questionnaire among the staff-level employees of construction companies of Nepal. Fully filled 305 responses from the participants were analyzed using a structural equation model. The study used self-structured questionnaire as research tool and face-to-face meetings as data collection technique.
Findings
The research indicates that POS showed competitive partial mediation relation between CSR and OP. Besides, a novel exploration of the moderation effect of GTL displays a supportive role in harmonizing the CSR with organizational support to achieve better OP. This study enriches empirical evidence to understand the linkage between CSR and POS in staff-level employees in the construction area. Moreover, the research shed a light on GTL 's moderating influence on the mediated model of CSR, POS and OP.
Research limitations/implications
Although the results of the study add to the current knowledge base, several limitations highlight avenues for future research. Future studies can explore the relationship in other study areas with added evidence on a similar result with different analysis patterns and study sample. The research model studied in the context of Nepal creating evidence as a representation for the developing countries.
Originality/value
The intervening role of POS and GTL gives new insight for the research-based organization based social behavior and performance

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) practices on Indian companies of different sectors and to identify the most critical GHRM practices that can lead to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly workplace.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses an integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process-Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution approach to determine the importance of 32 GHRM practices classified into eight categories, as identified through literature review and expert consultation. This study also identifies the best sector for GHRM practices in India.
Findings
This study reveals that employee engagement is the most critical practice among all the GHRM practices identified. India’s Information Technology-Enabled Services sector benefited the most from GHRM practices, followed by the Insurance sector.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature on GHRM practices and their impact on organisations and sectors. The integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process-Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution approach used in this study is innovative and can be helpful for Indian companies to prioritise and implement effective GHRM practices.
