Abstract:

Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) has become an essential organizational practice introduced to address environmental concerns within human resource management. Due to growing awareness of sustainability in corporate environments, Green HRM strategies are becoming essential in the promotion of sustainable behavior among the employees as well as bringing the HR policies into line with the environmental objectives of the company. This theoretical paper aims to define and discuss the Green HRM construct, strategies, and consequences. This paper seeks to review the literature in order to understand the drivers of Green HRM, the different practices involved in the process, and the difficulties likely to be encountered in the implementation of green strategies. The issues mentioned in the review of Green HRM are also the benefits of Green HRM on the organization and its performance, employee involvement, and sustainability. Finally, this paper aims to offer recommendations to organizations that want to strengthen their environmental accountability HRM strategies.
