Abstract

Purpose: The rising amount of research being done in the realm of environmental protection has resulted in the establishment of a new research paradigm in the field of human resource administration (HRA) called green human resource management" (GHRM). The current study was conducted to highlight the work been done in the field of GHRM and provide a pictorial view to the readers to understand the effectiveness of GHRM in various organizations. Theoretical framework: This paper provides an explanation of the development of literature and makes it possible to comprehend the topics that have been investigated in previous works of literature regarding GHRM. Design/methodology/approach: The Scopus core-collection and VOS-viewer were utilized in the writing of this paper. For the purpose of the study, each and every GHRM related document that will already exist within the database between 2008 till 2022 will be analyzed. The display of the data via graphical visualization incorporates both bibliographic coupling and co-citation features into the presentation. Findings: It was discovered that 418 documents on the GHRM scholarship were evaluated in this bibliometric investigation. The purpose of this study was to examine the volume, rising tendency, worldwide distribution, major journals, pioneer authors, dominant countries, and dominant industries in the field of global human resource management. With the use of logical operators, six different word combinations were combined to create the final product, “TITLE-ABS-KEY ("green human resource management" OR "green hr" OR "green human resource" OR " green human resource practices" OR "GHRM" OR "GHRMP")”, thus, the range grows wider. In the review, it was found that the GHRM is still a new idea. This review is meant to help modern researchers by giving them an overview of the current state of things. Research, Practical & Social implications: A more thorough and objective knowledge structure evolution framework for the period 2008 to 2022 is provided by this research, which is useful to the evolution of the Human Resource Management field. Originality/value: We have added a global perspective to our understanding of the concept's evolution across time by weaving together bibliographic information and network diagrams in this paper.
