Abstract

This review research paper aims to explore the concept of Green Human Resource Management (HRM) and its significance in integrating environmental sustainability into human resource practices. It examines the existing literature to understand the theoretical framework, methodologies, findings, and implications of incorporating environmental sustainability into HRM. The paper is grounded in the theoretical framework of HRM and sustainability, emphasizing the need to align organizational goals with environmental concerns. It draws on the principles of strategic HRM and sustainable development to establish a foundation for the integration of green practices within HRM processes. A systematic review methodology is employed to analyze and synthesize relevant literature. Multiple databases are searched to identify studies that explore the integration of environmental sustainability into HRM practices. The findings are critically examined to identify patterns, gaps, and emerging themes in the field. The review reveals that Green HRM is an evolving area of research and practice, with a growing emphasis on integrating environmental sustainability into various HRM domains such as recruitment, training, performance management, and employee engagement. The findings highlight the potential of Green HRM to enhance organizational sustainability, improve employee well-being, and foster environmental consciousness within the workforce. This research underscores the importance of adopting Green HRM practices as a means to address environmental challenges while ensuring organizational success. It provides insights for researchers to further explore the mechanisms and outcomes of integrating environmental sustainability into HRM practices. Moreover, it offers practical implications for HR professionals to develop strategies and policies that promote eco-friendly practices, support employee engagement, and align HRM with environmental goals. From a social perspective, this research emphasizes the role of organizations in contributing to environmental sustainability and fostering a greener workforce. This review paper consolidates and synthesizes the existing literature on Green HRM, providing a comprehensive overview of its theoretical foundations, research findings, and practical implications. It contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable HRM practices and serves as a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and organizations seeking to integrate environmental sustainability into their HRM strategies.
