Abstract
Prior studies on green HRM often treat it as a stand-alone practice, or a subset of organizational environmental
management (EM) system. In this article, consistent with the calls to merge EM systems and TQM, we maintain
that green HRM should be operated as a subset of broad TQM system, as a component of TQM-oriented HRM. We
identified seven green HRM practices that can be further classified into three sub-systems: competency-enhancing, motivation-enhancing, and opportunity-enhancing. Analyzing data collected from 339 Chinese high-tech companies, we found that the motivation-enhancing and competency-enhancing sub-systems of green HRM
affect all four green knowledge-creation and diffusion processes, but the opportunity-enhancing sub-system of
green HRM affects only green combination and internalization. We also found that green design is affected by all
four knowledge processes, green purchasing is affected by all the green knowledge processes except for green
internalization, and green production process is affected only by green externalization and green combination.
Our study contributes to business research by taking a first step toward integrating green HRM into the broader
TQM framework and investigating its performance implication from a TQM perspective.
