Abstract
Implementing Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) initiatives in the Nigerian context is particularly sensitive due to historical, socio-economic disparities, environmental concerns, and governance challenges within the oil industry. Moreover, oil exploration activities of Multinational Oil Companies (MNOCs) are often confronted with challenges such as partnering with different stakeholders. This study investigated Stakeholders’ Partnership (SP) and GHRM initiatives of MNOCs operating in the Niger Delta Region (NDR). The study was anchored on the Triple Bottom Line theory. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a survey method and multi-stage sampling technique, data were collected from 468 stakeholders, including MNCOs' employees, host community members, government agencies, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), and the activist groups concerned with Niger Delta affairs. Multiple regression analysis was utilised to test the hypothesis, SP components: Inclusiveness (R2=0.333; PV=0.000), Effectiveness (R2=0.291; PV=0.000), Accountability (R2=0.359; PV=0.000), and Good Governance (R2=0.366; PV=0.022) were found to have a significant impact on Green HRM Practices (R2=0.342; PV=0.000), with Inclusiveness having the strongest impact on CSR outcomes. This implies that SP is significantly influence GHRM practices. The study concluded that MNOCs operating in Niger Delta incorporated the components of SP into their affairs. Thus, MNOCs can effectively implement CSR initiatives that have a tangible positive impact on the people (stakeholders, especially the host communities), planet (environment), and profit (performance) by engaging with stakeholders and cultivating collaborative relationships. The study recommended that MNOCs should prioritise and maintain effective collaboration with host communities, governmental bodies, activists, and NGOs in ways tailored to address the region’s social, economic, cultural, ethical, and environmental factors.
