  Green human resource development is a new approach to job design that is based on employee innovation and if it is done based on economic, social and environmental goals, it can ultimately lead to sustainable production. Due to the importance and scope of the subject of this study, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of green human resource development on sustainable production in manufacturing companies. The present study is a cross-sectional research in terms of exploratory purpose and method and time period of data collection. The statistical population in the qualitative part includes 19 experts in the field of human resource development and active managers of Shiraz Industrial Park and in the quantitative part includes the staff of Shiraz Industrial Park. The sample size was estimated to be 212 people using Morgan table and sampling was done by simple random method. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire that was validated by structural validity, convergent validity and divergent validity. Using Cronbach's alpha and combined reliability, the reliability of the questionnaire was as desirable. The partial least squares method and Smart PLS software were used to validate the green HR development model. Based on the results, it was found that the development of green human resources affects green self-efficacy, green behavior of employees and green citizenship behavior. Green behavior of employees as an important factor in this regard also affects green citizenship behavior and self-efficacy and affects sustainable production. Manuscript profile

  2 - Terminology to Support Manufacturing Process Characterization and Assessment for Sustainable Production

  Common terminology is essential for accurate communication among researchers, scientists, engineers, and other decision makers. To assist manufacturing process characterization, a common understanding of terminology is imperative for efficient and effective communication in industry; it can also facilitate automation and interoperability of software tools. Manufacturing process characterization enables the assessment and improvement of unit manufacturing processes, products, and systems from a sustain- ability perspective. To develop and implement sustainability-related standards and best practices in industry, naming conventions and definitions of common terms are needed. Presently, many terms used are ill-defined, vague, or overlap in meaning. Although there are ongoing standards efforts related to terminology identification and definition, an identified common set is yet to be developed. The objective of this work was to facilitate ongoing standards development efforts by harmonizing the varied array of terms used to describe production processes. As a result of a review of the literature, a concise set of 47 terms focusing on process characterization and able to describe sustainable production was generated; terms unique to individual production processes were omitted. The terms were orga- nized into six categories to define the overarching concepts: Scope, Boundary, Material, Measurement, Model, and Flow. Definitions of the terms were then derived from the literature in sustainable manufacturing and chemical and process industries, process characterization and planning, organization standards, and life cycle assessment and management. The reported terms and definitions are not unique to sustainable production, and could foster wide- spread use of the concepts to improve the economic, environmental, and social performance of industry. In the future, the terminology described could be standardized through international standards orga- nizations. Manuscript profile
