Popis: Organizations, in general, have been emphasizing the green human resource management practices in the last two decades in order to change employees` attitudes and evoke their positive behaviors. Management can elicit employees` positive attitudes and behaviors through implementing green training and development, as one of the main human resources functions. The aim of this study was to explore the link between green training and development, green employee behavior, and employee retention. In addition, the study tried to assess the role of job delight as a mediating variable in the relationship between green training and development, green employee behavior‎, and employee retention. The study was conducted and collected data from 287 employees working with hotels and tourism ‎corporations listed in Amman Stock Exchange in Jordan to assess the proposed relationships. Results showed that the relationships between green training and development, green employee behavior‎, and employee retention were positively significant. The study also found that job delight significantly contributed as a mediator in these relationships. Academic and managerial implications of these findings were discussed.
