Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to present a model for energy and environmental policy-making in GHRM for Mashhad Municipality.

Methodology: This research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of data collection methodology. The statistical population of this study consists of experts and managers of Mashhad Municipality, totaling 240 individuals. The sample size, calculated based on Cochran’s formula, is 143 participants. Data collection tools in the library method included note-taking, information databases, documents, and the internet. In the field method, qualitative questions were derived from review articles, and quantitative questions were collected using a questionnaire. To develop the questionnaire, various related articles were reviewed to explore green human resource management policy-making. After three stages of checklist compilation, an initial 34-item questionnaire was prepared. This questionnaire was then distributed among university professors. Using exploratory factor analysis, more significant factors were identified, and less important ones were eliminated from the questionnaire. The final questionnaire was prepared after responses were collected and was distributed among the study sample. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis with AMOS software.

Findings: The research findings, while validating the proposed model, revealed that the components of GHRM encompass individual, social, cultural, energy, environmental, organizational, and ecological dimensions.

Conclusion: The results demonstrated the impact of energy, environmental, and ecological components of GHRM on the managerial components of the municipality, including the Deputy of Planning and Development, the Deputy of Finance and Support, the Deputy of Urban Services and Environment, the Deputy of Transportation and Traffic, the Cultural and Social Organization, the Deputy of Technical and Civil Affairs, and the Deputy of Urban Planning and Architecture.
