Abstract

This study explored the potential of green human resource management (green HRM) in promoting occupational health and environmental sustainability among academics, particularly in the Nigerian higher education sector. We adopted the interpretive qualitative research method and 43 semi-structured interviews to understand the work-life stressors affecting Nigerian academics and the role of green HRM in alleviating work-life stress and promoting occupational health and environmental sustainability. Our findings highlight key factors that promote and hinder the impact of green HRM on occupational health and environmental sustainability. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings by arguing that green HRM could enhance organisational climate by serving as an essential component in occupational stress management and environmental management, whereby green HRM practices could act as an intervention for supporting employees in enhancing their health and wellbeing, achieving work-life balance (WLB) and promoting a green environment.
