Title: The Role Of Green HRM in Fostering Good Corporate Image. A Case Of Shamva gold Mine.
Abstract: The mining industry is a vital contributor to Zimbabwe's economic development, but environmental concerns have become a crucial consideration for businesses operating in the country. To ensure long-term sustainability, companies must integrate environmental and social responsibility into their operations. One effective approach is to adopt Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), which combines traditional Human Resources Management (HRM) and Environment Management (EM) practices to foster a workforce that prioritizes environmental stewardship and social accountability.This study investigates the role of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) in fostering good corporate image the of organizations, using Shamva Gold Mine as a case study. Given the scarcity of research on GHRM and organizational performance, particularly in the context of environmental change and climate change, this study aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge. A quantitative research approach was employed at Shamva Gold Mine, and the findings reveal that some mining organizations lack a comprehensive understanding of GHRM, despite informally practicing some of its elements. Moreover, the results indicate that adopting GHRM can positively impact the performance of mining organizations. Specifically, the study finds that GHRM has a positive impact on the organizational performance of Shamva Gold Mine. This highlights the need for further research in this area to shed more light on effective environmental management practices and to explore the potential benefits of GHRM in the mining industry.
