Linking Sustainable Human Resources Practices to Corporate Reputation: The Role of Job Satisfaction and Organizational Culture
研究绿色奖励、绿色培训和绿色招聘三种可持续人力资源实践如何通过工作满意度影响企业声誉，并发现组织文化会增强工作满意度与声誉之间的正向关系。
ABSTRACT This study examines how three sustainable human resource practices (green reward, green training, and green recruitment) affect employee job satisfaction and corporate reputation, and how organizational culture moderates the satisfaction‐reputation relationship in sustainability‐oriented organizations. Drawing on social exchange theory and the resource‐based view, a cross‐sectional online survey was administered to 416 employees who had worked in organizations that had integrated environmental sustainability. Results show that green reward and green recruitment are positively associated with job satisfaction, whereas green training is not. Only green recruitment has a significant direct association with corporate reputation, whereas green reward and green training do not. Job satisfaction strongly predicts corporate reputation and significantly mediates the relationships between all three human resource practices and reputation. Moreover, organizational culture positively moderates the association of job satisfaction with corporate reputation, strengthening this link in more sustainability‐oriented cultures. The findings suggest that managers should prioritize green recruitment for direct reputational benefits, use green rewards and training to build job satisfaction as an indirect reputational lever, and cultivate a sustainability‐supportive culture to amplify these relationships. This study is novel in jointly modeling green rewards, green training, and green recruitment with job satisfaction and corporate reputation while integrating social exchange theory and the resource‐based view to test both mediating (job satisfaction) and moderating (organizational culture) mechanisms within a single empirical framework.
