PRACTITIONERS’ ACCEPTANCE AND READINESS TOWARDS GREEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (GHRM) IN THE TIC SERVICE INDUSTRY

Objective: The present study aims to provide insights into practitioners’ acceptance and readiness toward GHRM practices in the context of an Indonesian state-owned TIC company.

Theoretical framework: This research’s conceptual model was constructed according to the previous literature on GHRM. Acceptance is assessed through GHRM practices (recruitment, training, performance, rewards, and involvement), whereas readiness involves appropriateness, management support, change efficacy, and personal benefit.

Methods: A survey instrument was designed based on GHRM practices identified through qualitative methods and quantitative assessments by 25 practitioners working in the company. The data collected was descriptively analyzed using the SPSS software package. Phase I measures the acceptance, if a certain value is achieved, it will proceed to Phase II, assessing the readiness for GHRM.

Findings: Phase I results showed that the acceptance degree was high (3.87). Then, proceed to Phase II, which shows that the readiness degree was also high (4.00). This concludes that the state-owned TIC company observed has accepted and is ready to implement GHRM practices.

Implications of the research: The research helps the TIC industry’s practitioners to develop GHRM implementation strategies and expands the literature on GHRM research for academics.

Originality and value: This study investigates the acceptance and readiness for GHRM implementation in the Indonesian TIC industry. By addressing practitioners' viewpoints, this research utilizes quantitative measures to determine their acceptance and readiness toward various GHRM practices.
