GREEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (GHRM): DRIVING SUSTAINABLE ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICES

Abstract

Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has emerged as a critical strategy for integrating environmental sustainability into organizational practices, business operations and decision-making processes.  This study examined the role of GHRM in driving sustainable performance by examining practices such as green recruitment, green training, performance management and paperless office. The GHRM practices significantly enhance organizational sustainability by fostering pro-environmental behaviors, improving resource efficiency, and strengthening corporate reputation.  Key enablers of successful GHRM implementation include leadership commitment, employee engagement, and alignment with corporate sustainability goals. Challenges such as resource constraints and resistance to change were identified. This paper offers practical recommendations for adopting GHRM practices and highlights its strategic importance in achieving long-term organizational and environmental objectives.
