This paper tests a research model that examines work engagement (WENG) as a mediator between green human resource management (GHRM) and absenteeism and green recovery performance.

To gauge the aforesaid linkages, the authors used data collected from employees and their supervisors in the international five-star chain hotels in Istanbul, Turkey. One-hundred and eighty-two respondents completed the surveys.

GHRM fosters WENG. As predicted, WENG alleviates absenteeism and triggers green recovery performance. Employees' favorable perceptions of GHRM (cognitive evaluation) give rise to higher WENG (emotional response), which in turn directs their behaviors such as reduced absenteeism and higher green recovery performance (behavioral response).

No empirical study has gauged the linkage between GHRM and WENG and nonattendance behavior or absenteeism so far. Moreover, there are few empirical pieces in the current literature that have tested the mechanism through which GHRM is associated with green and/or nongreen outcomes.
