Abstract:

Green Intellectual Capital refers to an intangible asset that encompasses informational resources, innovation, and knowledge aimed at improving competitive advantage while ensuring environmental sustainability, thereby enhancing sustainable performance. This form of capital enables organizations to adhere to stringent international environmental regulations, increase customer awareness regarding environmental concerns, and create additional value in their operations. Following the Resource-Based View theory, businesses must cultivate and effectively combine a unique array of strategic resources to attain superior performance. Consequently, this research explores the connection between Green Intellectual Capital and Environmental Performance, with Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) acting as a mediator between these two variables. The research utilizes a quantitative approach employing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques, specifically based on Partial Least Square (PLS). The research instrument applied is SmartPLS 4. A Simple Random Sampling approach was employed to select the sample, involving 272 participants from the hotel industry in Surakarta. The findings indicate that Green Intellectual Capital positively and significantly affects both Green Human Resource management and environmental performance.
