Abstract

The aim of this article is to suggest the proposition indicators to make a connection between involvement of employees and management of environmental projects undertaken in organizations. The indicators developed are intended to measure the level of commitment of employees to the organization when organization promote projects related to environmental management. For this, we sought to explore key concepts and ideas about Human Resources Sustainable (Green Human Ressources Management) and basic principles of the AA 1000 and ISO 26000 standards, in order to base this study. It is, therefore, a survey of theoretical and empirical character. It is, therefore, a search character theoretical and empirical. Such indicators may, in the future, proposing a scale that helps to understand the effectiveness of these environmental projects by involving employees in the organization, from its planning to its conduct and results. It is hoped that contributions be made useful for researchers in order to help them to propose new studies that can improve indicators presented here, and allows other studies apply these indicators in public or private organizations.

As limitations, this paper does not propose a metric in which the indicators presented can be inserted. Moreover, these indicators have not been applied to any organization. Therefore, it is not possible to know what possible reference values for each of them, which will only occur if these indicators are used and / or enhanced by other studies applying them in organizations. It is also not possible to say whether the indicators proposed here are or may be applied without adaptations, to all kinds of organizations that carry out the management of environmental projects and seek to integrate the management and its employees. As originality, this work meets the aspirations of Jabbour and Santos (2008), where there is lack of studies that contribute to tools that can assist in effective management that address the area of human rights and sustainability while resources. Also meets the suggestions of Jackson et al. (2011), especially by proposing an exploratory study that helps the organization to seek the deepening environmental management linked to human resources and stakeholders.
