Abstract

Owing to the industrialization, the use of energy and natural resource are increasing exponentially. All products and commodities used day-to-day human life are by-products of natural resources, which are depleted without awareness. Green human resource management (GHRM) is viewed in the context of green management as another aspect of human resource management (HRM), which aims to successfully implement green initiatives in any businesses organization. To upsurge understanding of how GHRM initiatives within businesses can foster environmentally conscious behaviour among workers, with a focus on the mediating function of green innovation (GI) is of utmost concern. On a profound observation, there are numerous implications and unawareness that causes lack or practices of green management in majority of the organizations. This article presents comprehensive review on the predominant external and internal factors to be considered for any small scale, medium scale and large-scale organization for effective adoption of green management technique. Additionally, an exhaustive analysis on value added to firms in terms of social sustainability, economic sustainability and environmental sustainability is elaborated. Nevertheless, there is little research on the relationship between GHRM initiatives and the following business outcomes: financial success, flexibility, and productivity. Indeed, a review article with focus on influencing parameter to be consider for ease of implementation of green management policies will be a critical insight to business firms, government policy makes, social culture in any organization. This review also allies with the sustainable development goals (SDG 08: Decent Work and Economic Growth) and (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production) as framed by the united nation.
