Green HR Practices: An Empirical Study in an Manufacturing Sector
R. Remo Albinus and Clayton Michael Fonceca PDF
Abstract
Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) has become a critical strategy for organizations that want to
reconcile business development with environmental sustainability. This research investigates the implementation
and efficacy of Green HRM practices on different dimensions, such as Green Training & Development, Green
Performance Evaluation, Compensation & Incentives, Employee Involvement, Employee Empowerment &
Engagement, Planning & Operational Practices, and Review Practices. The study intends to measure the
employees' awareness level, levels of engagement, and overall effect of Green HRM on organizational
performance and sustainability. Following a descriptive research design and random sampling technique, data
collection was carried out among employees of an Hosur-based manufacturing firm. Structured questionnaires
with a Likert scale were used in order to explore employee attitudes towards Green HRM practices. The research
suggests that though organizations are attempting to adopt Green HRM, obstacles like low workers' awareness,
absence of formal incentives, and poor review mechanisms hamper its maximum potential. The research
underscores the need for holistic training, eco-friendly performance measurement, and strategic policy
incorporation in order to maximize Green HRM success. The study adds to the existing literature on sustainable
HR practices, with relevant implications for organizations that seek to enhance their environmental commitment
and corporate sustainability over the long term. The results highlight the importance of organizations embracing
responsive Green HRM strategies that encourage employee commitment and integrate with global sustainability
objectives.
Keywords: Sustainability, green training & development, green performance evaluation, compensation, incentives.

Progressive learning of Employees: Opportunities and Challenges in an Industry
A. Mozhivanan and C.R. Christi Anandan PDF
Abstract
This research investigates the progressive learning among the employees at a top manufacturing industry,
Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu. It aims to analyse how the employees learn from initiatives, what challenges
they encounter, and the determinants affecting their skill development. A sample of 100 employees was chosen
by adopting a lottery system so that it remains random and representative. The research both qualitatively and
quantitatively uses a structured questionnaire to collect data as the main methodology. Statistical techniques such
as tests of reliability, Z-tests, and ANOVA were utilized to evaluate how demographic variables of age, gender,
designation, domicile, and department affect workers' learning. The results are that although designation has a
massive effect on opportunity and difficulty to learn, departments and family backgrounds have little bearing. The
research stresses the importance of specific training courses, mentorship programs, and department-level
learning interventions to maximize employees' skills and career advancements. The knowledge derived from the
present research will assist organizations in developing more powerful learning initiatives for boosting employee
morale and productivity.
Keywords: Progressive learning, employee development, skill enhancement, training programs.

Sustainable HR Practices and Employee Wellbeing
C. Maxi Asissiya and Clayton Michael Fonceca PDF
Abstract
The fast-changing IT sector is pivotal to economic growth, innovation, and digital transformation. But the
fast-moving environment of the industry tends to contribute to worker stress, burnout, and work-life disruption.
This research focuses on how sustainable HR practices can influence worker wellness in the IT sector through
vital areas of work-life balance, mental health assistance, talent development, and ethical HR management.
Through a descriptive research approach, information was gathered from IT employees using structured
questionnaires, examining their experiences and knowledge of sustainable HR practices. The results indicate that
although some employees are familiar with sustainable HR practices, a large percentage have limited knowledge
of key areas like training, mental health, and work-life balance policies. Statistical analysis validates a robust
relationship between sustainable HR practices and staff well-being, and the importance of organizations
implementing flexible work arrangements, fair hiring, mental health initiatives, and employee engagement
models. Based on the research, the adoption of sustainable HR practices improves organizational performance,
minimizes burnout, and leads to a more engaged and satisfied workforce. Recommendations are made for HR
departments, management, and R&D departments to execute sustainable practices creating a people-oriented
work culture that is robust.
Keywords: Sustainable HR practices, employee well-being, work-life balance, mental health support.

Employee Happiness Index: A Study of School Teachers in a Private Institution
S. Antony Sanjay and Clayton Michael Fonceca PDF
Abstract
The Employee Happiness Index among private school teachers is examined in this study, with an
emphasis on the major variables affecting their retention, well-being, and job satisfaction. The
demand for skilled teachers has surged due to the private education sector's quick growth, but
many institutions struggle to keep teachers happy because of low pay, few opportunities for
professional growth, and discontent at work. Seventy teachers at a reputable private school in the
Tirupattur District provided information via structured questionnaires using a Likert scale as part of
a descriptive study design. According to the results, a sizable percentage of teachers express low
job satisfaction, unpleasant working conditions, inadequate pay, and a lack of recognition, all of
which have a detrimental effect on their happiness levels. The study also finds that employee
happiness varies by gender, with female teachers reporting greater levels of appreciation and job
satisfaction than their male counterparts. According to statistical analysis, overall happiness and
teacher contentment differ significantly between male and female respondents, but factors like
professional development and compensation do not exhibit significant gender-based variations.
The findings highlight how urgently private educational institutions must improve pay plans, offer
chances for professional development, and cultivate a positive workplace culture in order to
increase teacher satisfaction. Schools can improve student learning outcomes, lower turnover
rates, and increase teacher motivation by addressing these issues. This study advances knowledge
about the well-being of teachers in private schools and offers practical suggestions for school
administrators looking to create a happier and more effective workplace.
Keywords: Job satisfaction, employee happiness, teachers in private schools, work environments, pay and
