Abstract

This study delves into Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) as well as its link with organizational sustainability. Through a review of literature, this research hopes to fathom the place of eco-sustainability in employee involvement and enhancing environmental responsibility via Green HRM. The main aim of this study is to thoroughly examine the literature on GHRM and its contribution to improving organizational sustainability through employee engagement and diminished environmental impact. The PRISMA guidelines were utilized in this conceptual review in order to investigate the impact that Green HRM has on the sustainability of organizations. The results show that Green HRM is vital for organizational sustainability since it reduces their ecological footprint, raises employee morale, and improves reputation. Additionally, the study emphasizes the significance of including Green HRM practices into organizational strategies and operations so as to achieve long-term sustainability. Findings indicate that through implementing green HRM practices organizations can record increased employee engagement levels, reduced turnover rates and improved customer satisfaction. Moreover, there are lower costs associated with green human resource management practices because of less waste and a better image for the brand. Nonetheless, some challenges and constraints towards change have been observed in relation to the implementation of these practices by companies. This study therefore gives an overview of how green HRM enhances organizational sustainability, thereby urging firms to adopt sustainable HR practices for successful operations in the future. These findings are important for human resource professionals, policymakers, or organizations who want to embed sustainability into their business strategy.
