Green Human Resources Management: An Overview of Environmentally Conscious Human Resource Governance
Abstract
Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) becoming a strategic approach in supporting the achievement of organizational sustainability goals through the integration of environmentally friendly principles into human resource management practices. This article aims to analyze the development and implementation of GHRM based on a qualitative literature review of indexed international publications since 2020. The study results show that GHRM contributes significantly to shaping a green work culture, increasing employee engagement, and strengthening organizational competitiveness amid global challenges such as regulatory changes, consumer demands, and environmental crises. GHRM practices include green recruitment, environmental training, performance management, and rewarding environmentally friendly behaviors. The success of GHRM implementation is highly determined by visionary leadership support, a fair incentive system, and the involvement of all internal and external stakeholders. The conclusion of this article emphasizes that GHRM is not merely a trend, but a fundamental transformation in human resource governance that is socially and ecologically responsible. The adaptive implementation of GHRM can help organizations build sustainable work ecosystems that are efficient and highly resilient in facing future changes
