Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the evolving scientific landscape in Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) from 2000 to 2024. The aim is to identify key research trends, influential authors, thematic clusters, and the intellectual structure underpinning this rapidly growing domain, with particular focus on its intersection with sustainability, environmental performance, and organizational behavior. A systematic search of 1106 peer-reviewed articles indexed in the Scopus database formed the basis of the analysis. Two bibliometric tools, VOSviewer and Bibliometrix (R Studio), were used to conduct co-citation, co-authorship, and keyword co-occurrence analyses. The results reveal five dominant research clusters: (1) GHRM and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE), (2) green training and employee engagement, (3) CSR and perceived environmental responsibility, (4) the AMO model as a theoretical foundation, and (5) green leadership and innovation. These clusters provide insights into how GHRM practices contribute to sustainable organizational outcomes. Additionally, recent studies highlight growing interest in green dynamic capabilities, digital transformation, and ESG compliance. This work offers scholars, HR professionals, and sustainability strategists a comprehensive overview of GHRM’s development, research gaps, and emerging directions. Its originality lies in the integration of bibliometric techniques to map fragmented knowledge and inform future research agendas.
