Resumo(s)
Nos últimos anos várias empresas têm vindo a adotar práticas e a definir objetivos
ecológicos, nascendo assim o conceito de Green Human Resources Management
(GHRM), em português, Gestão de Recursos Humanos Verde (GRHV). Esta nova área
dos recursos humanos (RH) tem como principal objetivo aumentar a consciência dos
trabalhadores em relação a este tema, de forma que os mesmos adotem um
comportamento pró-ambiental na sua vida profissional e pessoal. A implementação
destas práticas nas empresas permitirá que as mesmas melhorem a sua performance
ambiental, ganhando uma vantagem competitiva no mercado, relativamente a outras que
carecem desta preocupação ambiental e ecológica. Tendo em conta o aumento da
preocupação por parte do consumidor em procurar empresas que ofereçam serviços ou
produtos que sejam amigos do ambiente, as empresas que colocam em prática medidas
relacionadas com este tema terão uma maior capacidade em conseguir fidelizar o
consumidor.
O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as perceções que os trabalhadores portugueses têm
sobre as práticas verdes de recursos humanos, o impacto que as mesmas têm no
compromisso organizacional e também verificar o papel moderador do significado do
trabalho nesta relação. Este estudo assenta numa abordagem quantitativa e por isso foi
elaborado um questionário que resultou numa amostra de 104 participantes. Para analisar
os dados obtidos e chegar a conclusões sobre o mesmo foi utilizado o software estatístico
IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) versão 29.
A presente investigação permitiu então concluir que apesar da pouca perceção que os
participantes têm acerca das práticas verdes de RH que a sua empresa adota, as mesmas
acabam por influenciar o seu compromisso organizacional. Os resultados permitiram
também concluir que o significado do trabalho tem um papel moderador na relação entre
o compromisso organizacional e a GRHV, quer isto dizer que é fulcral que as empresas
adotem estas práticas não só para reter e motivar os seus colaboradores, mas também para
conseguirem tornar-se organizações mais sustentáveis e assim estarem a par dos temas da
atualidade.
In recent years, several companies have adopted green practices and set green goals, giving rise to the concept of Green Human Resources Management (GHRM). The main aim of this new field of Human Resources (HR) is to raise awareness among employees so that they adopt pro-environmental behaviours in their professional and personal lives. Implementing these practices in companies will allow them to improve their environmental performance and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace over others who do not take environmental and ecological concerns into account. Given the increasing consumer interest in seeking out companies that offer environmentally friendly services or products, companies that implement policies related to this issue will have a greater ability to gain consumer loyalty. The aim of this study is to analyse Portuguese workers' perceptions of green human resources practices, the impact these practices have on organisational commitment, and to see the moderating role of meaning of work in this relationship. This study is based on a quantitative approach, therefore the instrument used was a questionnaire. To support the objectives of this research, a questionnaire was distributed, leading to a sample of 104 participants. IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 29 was used to analyse the data and draw conclusions. This research concluded that despite participants' low perceptions of their organisation's green HR practices, they do influence their organisational commitment. The results also led to the conclusion that the meaning of work plays a moderating role in the relationship between organisational commitment and GHRM, meaning that it is crucial for companies to adopt these practices not only to retain and motivate their employees, but also to become more sustainable organisations.
