What was the subject of your award-winning research?

“The paper is entitled ‘Sustainable human resource practices for individual environmental performance: A meta-review’. It provides a review of the current understanding of the link between human resource environmental management practices and individual environmental performance, as measured by people’s eco-responsible behaviour at work. The aim is to map this stream of research through empirical links, evaluation methods, national contexts, sectors of activity, etc.”

What is the impact of this paper?

“NEOMA is actively involved in research into environmental sustainability in several areas of management. A number of faculty colleagues regularly distinguish themselves in the academic world by publishing high-quality articles. This prize makes a small addition to this body of work, by tackling an emerging theme in management related to the management of human resources dedicated to the environment”.

“On a personal level, receiving an award is always very gratifying. But I would say that it also sends a strong message to the academic community by giving visibility to the emerging theme of research into the environmental management of human resources.”
