Özet:

 


This
study explores the extent to which the
environmentally-friendly job preferences of human resource managers (interviewers)
and job applicants (interviewees) match in case of Turkey’s resource-dependent
business organizations. The study covers 63 human resource managers from 11
medium/large-sized businesses that have several joint-plants producing cement
and variety of sorts of metal/mineral supplies in different cities in Turkey
and 75 job applicants that these human resource managers interviewed. Consequently,
138 participants were asked to quantitively rank the importance of 22-item
criteria when they choose where to work. The comparison of the mean scores
demonstrates that both interviewers and interviewees are not that concerned
with the green workplace, green business, and eco-friendliness. Rather, salary
and other benefits, promotion and career opportunities, organizational
reputation, and match of skills/qualifications to job requirements are found as
the key factors affecting the work/job decisions of both interviewers and
interviewees. Moreover, the only demographic difference is found in gender among
interviewers that female managers more tend to prefer environmentally-friendly
jobs/works. Emphasizing the roles of regulations and environmental standards to
make business organizations greener, the study concludes with recommendations
for practice within the green human resource management and green business perspective.
