A Bibliometric Analysis on Green Human Resource Management Using Scopus Database

The study of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has recently garnered significant attention from both academics and practitioners due to its vital role in incorporating sustainable environmental practices into traditional HRM processes. A key research objective is to comprehend the overall structure of existing research and what has been accomplished so far, in order to develop a robust research program to tackle future GHRM challenges. Conducting a bibliometric analysis of the current state of GHRM aims to provide insights into the existing body of knowledge, identify trends, and understand the research landscape. Numerous literature reviews focusing on various aspects of GHRM have been published between 2014 and 2024. Consequently, this study employed a bibliometric approach to assess the current level of research on GHRM. The Scopus database, a leading independent global citation database, was utilized to search for documents related to GHRM. A bibliometric tool called Biblioshiny was executed to examine the data collected from the search, which generated 446 documents. This software was used to build maps based on scientific publication network data, revealing relationships between researchers, countries, and journals. This comprehensive mapping of the field serves to graphically depict the evolution of publications over time as well as identify current research interests. Finally, the findings of the bibliometric analysis point out a growing trend in GHRM studies around the world, indicating that people are becoming more conscious of the need for environmental management and protection, as well as sustainable development.
