Summary
This study integrates meta-synthesis, Delphi, and SEM to identify key Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) practices crucial for sustainable performance in construction. Five GHRM components significantly impact environmental sustainability.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Management
- Human Resources Management
- Sustainable Business Practices
Background:
- Increasing environmental awareness necessitates corporate sustainability.
- Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) is vital for achieving environmental goals.
- The construction industry faces unique environmental challenges requiring tailored GHRM strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate an integrated methodology for assessing environmentally sustainable performance.
- To identify critical Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) components influencing sustainable performance in the construction sector.
- To provide managerial insights for enhancing GHRM practices in environmentally conscious companies.
Main Methods:
- Meta-synthesis for initial literature review and code extraction (38 codes).
- Delphi method with industry experts to refine and categorize GHRM codes for the construction context (21 codes, 7 categories).
- Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to validate the methodology and identify significant GHRM components using data from 33 Iranian construction companies.
Main Results:
- Five GHRM components demonstrated significant positive relationships with environmentally sustainable performance: green recruitment and selection, green performance management, green reward systems, green employee empowerment, and green training.
- The integrated methodology effectively validated GHRM's impact on sustainable performance within the construction industry.
- Out of nine initial GHRM components, only five were found to be significant drivers.
Conclusions:
- Specific GHRM practices are critical for driving environmentally sustainable performance in the construction industry.
- The developed integrated methodology offers a robust framework for evaluating GHRM's role in corporate environmental responsibility.
- Future research should explore broader industry applications and the nuanced impact of each identified GHRM component.

01:17Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS
118
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

01:14Design Example: Managing Concrete Workability
123
This example deals with managing the workability of concrete for a raft foundation project under hot weather conditions. Workability is crucial for ensuring the concrete is easy to place, compact, and finish. In this scenario, a slump test — a common method to measure the workability of fresh concrete — initially indicated low workability. This was attributed to the rapid water loss from the concrete mix, exacerbated by the high temperatures causing the course aggregates to heat up.

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

01:25Workability of Concrete
167
The workability of concrete is a crucial property that affects its handling, placing, and finishing during construction. It describes the ease with which concrete can be mixed, placed, compacted, and finished. Workability is primarily concerned with the concrete's movement and its ability to resist internal friction and external resistance from molds and reinforcements during the application process.
Concrete's workability is determined by its resistance to internal forces that arise...
