Abstract

In recent times, there has been increased recognition among organizations regarding the importance of achieving a harmonious equilibrium between economic growth and environmental preservation, leading to a greater emphasis on sustainable business practices. A critical component of sustainable business involves implementing green recruitment strategies that aim to attract and choose employees who are environmentally aware and possess the essential competencies to actively contribute to sustainable initiatives. This research investigates the influence of green recruitment on the competitive advantages derived from sustainable business practices while also exploring the intermediary role played by the green supply chain. By employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, this study gathered data from a varied selection of organizations spanning various industries. The findings demonstrate a favorable correlation between green recruitment and the attainment of sustainable business advantages, indicating that organizations that actively seek out and hire individuals with environmentally conscious values and skills are more inclined to secure competitive edges in sustainability-related aspects. Additionally, the research highlights the pivotal role played by the green supply chain in mediating this relationship. The results imply that organizations should give significant importance to implementing green recruitment strategies in order to strengthen their sustainable business advantages. By actively attracting and choosing environmentally conscious employees, organizations can cultivate a sustainability-oriented culture and harness the expertise and abilities of their workforce to propel sustainable initiatives. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significance of incorporating green supply chain practices, as it acts as a catalyst to fully unlock the potential benefits of green recruitment endeavors. This study makes a valuable contribution to the expanding knowledge base surrounding sustainable business practices, shedding light on the importance of green recruitment and its influence on sustainable business advantages. The findings hold practical implications for organizations seeking to improve their sustainability performance and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. By adopting green recruitment strategies and making investments in a green supply chain, organizations can adopt a comprehensive approach to sustainability and establish themselves as industry leaders.
