Greening Human Resources for Elevating Value Creation in Organizations

Abstract

This chapter delves into the concept of green human resource management (Green HRM), which holds promise for both sustainable vision adoption and fostering eco-friendly workplaces. While Green HRM has gained attention, it remains an emerging field with unanswered questions. Investigating its potential, this study addresses key research questions and highlights the untapped opportunities for enhancing staff productivity and gaining a competitive edge through Green HRM. Drawing on systematic analyses, the chapter reveals the value of Green HRM in bolstering sustainable performance, bridging the gap in academic understanding. Theoretical implications underscore its role in pro-environmental paradigm shifts, while practical contributions advocate for strategic incorporation of Green HRM initiatives for intra- and inter-organizational benefits. This chapter enriches the discourse by offering insights on the connection among Green HRM, organizational effectiveness, and the triple bottom line, guiding practitioners towards a greener, competitive future.
