Abstract:
The environment change is the most complicated issue that world is facing today. These
changes particularly from financial sectors, mainly create negative impact on the
environment. This situation compelled the banks to involve themselves in responsible
activities and improve their environmental performance. Nowadays, it is observed that
HRM (human resource management) functions can be transformed and integrated in
digital forms within banks known as e-HRM. Thus, in rapidly changing environment,
banks are trying to adopt e-HRM (electronic human resource management) applications
to enhance the bank’s environmental performance. Hence, the objective of this study is to
find out the impact of e-HRM on bank’s environmental performance of selected
Commercial banks in Batticaloa Region of Sri Lanka. This study was conducted theoretically and empirically in Sri Lankan banks. In order to achieve the objective,
primary data were collected from 155 employees of selected bank branches and the
structured questionnaire was administered to collect the data. The data were analyzed by
using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses. The finding of the study revealed
that e-HRM practices have positive and significant impact on bank’s environmental
performance in overall. And it was also seen that communication which is one of the eHRM practices was found to have positive and significant impact on bank’s
environmental performance however, recruitment and selection, employee data and pay
management, performance management, training and development, knowledge
management and operational and other HRM activities were not a significant predictor
of bank’s environmental performance. The current study will be vital in understanding
the empirical knowledge regarding the impact of e-HRM practices on bank’s
environmental performance.
