Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Using survey data from 450 employees in 15 engineering companies, this study reveals the transmission mechanism of green human resource management to low-carbon transformation. The analysis found that including environmental protection track record assessment in recruitment criteria, implementing special training on energy-saving skills, and implementing performance bonus systems for carbon emission reduction can increase employees' likelihood of actively participating in green actions such as saving electricity and water by 42%. Particularly in the field of civil engineering, the correlation between green HRM measures and the emission reduction effectiveness of resource-intensive companies is 0.73. The case study shows that after a road and bridge construction company implemented an environmental assessment system, the rate of material loss on the construction site decreased by 19% year-on-year. The results provide an operational implementation plan for engineering companies to promote carbon emission reduction for all employees through human resource management.
