Conceptual Framework of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) for Corporate Sustainability

The study aimed at synthesizing the existing literature on the concepts of "Green" and "GHRM" to propose a conceptual framework for accomplishing corporate sustainability. A total of 50 research papers (published in English language only) were selected with multistage sampling and content analysis was applied to reach the conclusions. The results of the content analysis showed that the term "Green" includes an extensive range of environmentally conscientious practices like waste reduction, energy efficiency, and sustainable procurement. The literature established GHRM as an important aspect of organizations' efforts to adopt "Green" practices with the fact that it helps to ensure employees' green character within the organisation. The study highlighted that implementation of "Green" practices in industry take strength from the employees' green behaviour towards different regulatory requirements, increasing consumer's demand for eco -friendly products, and the need for efficient uses of available resources. The major connect that the study could reveal was the crucial role that HR has to play in developing green employees. Further it was pointed out that Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) refers to the inclusion of environmental concerns into every aspect of human resource management within organisations.
