Abstract(s)
A temática da sustentabilidade ambiental tem ganho nas últimas décadas uma
importância crescente à escala global. O presente estudo procura efetuar um mapeamento das
práticas de Gestão de Recursos Humanos Verde (GRHV) dinamizadas pelas empresas que
operam em território nacional e que são detentoras da norma ISO 14001 - Sistemas de gestão
ambiental. A investigação pretende ainda identificar os benefícios que as empresas associam à
Gestão de Recursos Humanos Verde, bem como as condicionantes e desafios que reconhecem
na implementação destas práticas gestionárias. A influência da norma ISO 14001 na GRHV é
igualmente analisada.
Para a prossecução dos objetivos, privilegia-se uma metodologia eminentemente
qualitativa, ancorada à realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas a um conjunto limitado, mas
diversificado, de profissionais de recursos humanos e de responsáveis pela sustentabilidade
ambiental das empresas, bem como à pesquisa e análise de dados analiticamente relevantes
sobre a temática.
Os resultados evidenciam que as organizações em Portugal implementam práticas
ambientais que se enquadram na GRHV, mas que estas carecem de um entendimento holístico.
O caráter operacional da ISO 14001 não impacta, de forma profunda, na conceção
multidimensional da GRHV. Os benefícios da GRHV são moderados pelas condicionantes
inerentes à forma como o tecido empresarial português se comporta, impondo desafios futuros
para a sua implementação e sucesso.
O estudo discute ainda as implicações dos resultados para as organizações e oferece sugestões
para investigação futura.
The environmental sustainability theme has gained a growing importance on a global scale in the last decades. This study aims to map the green human resource management (GHRM) practices developed by companies operating in Portugal that hold the ISO 14001 standard - Environmental Management Systems. The research also aims to identify the benefits that companies associate with green human resources management, as well as the constraints and challenges they recognize in the implementation of these management practices. The influence of ISO 14001 on GRHV is also analyzed. In order to pursue the objectives, an approach based on a qualitative methodology is used, anchored to not only semi-structured interviews conducted with a limited, but diversified, set of professionals (human resources professionals and those entrusted with the environmental sustainability of companies), but also investigation of data that is analytically significant to the subject. The results show that organizations in Portugal implement environmental practices that fit into GHRM, but they lack a holistic understanding. The operational nature of ISO 14001 does not impact, in a profound way, on the multidimensional conception of GHRM. The benefits of GHRM are moderated by the constraints inherent to the Portuguese business environment, imposing future challenges for its implementation and success. The study also discusses the implications of the findings for organizations and provides suggestions for future research.
