Abstract

Over the last decade, academicans and businesses alike have been drawn to the green workplace. As a result, new fields of study such as green human resource management (GHRM) began to merge. Greening the workplace entails greening typical company tasks such as human resource management, marketing, operations, and supply chain management. GHRM may play a strategic role in assisting firms in implementing and developing sustainable initiatives, as well as achieving corporate sustainability. This work contributes to a better understanding of GHRM scholarship and gives an up-to-date assessment of theoretical frameworks used in GHRM research.The author uses the bibliometric analysis approach in this study to analyze and derive conclusions from 121 publications obtained from the SCOPUS database during a nearly two-decade period: 2000 to February 2023. The current work aims to comprehend GHRM scholarship using the Bibliometrix and the VOS viewer software.The study provides some novel observations that may assist scholars, line managers, and top management in conceptualizing GHRM practices in their organizations, which are presently confined to a few human resource (HR) activities (hiring, training, and reward), regions and sectors. By identifying keywords, authors, journals, intellectual, conceptual, and social structure, this article contributes to the GHRM research.The article focuses on corporate sustainability goals to assist readers to comprehend green practices in HR activities. It assists line managers and top management in making GHRM a significant basis for attaining sustainability objectives. Furthermore, these findings might serve as a guide for future research in the field of GHRM.
