The Impact of Green Human Resource Management on Organizational Performance

Abstract

Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) has emerged as a vital tool for organizations seeking to balance economic growth with sustainable practices and social responsibility. Derived from the broader concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Green HRM promotes environmentally friendly behaviors and sustainable use of organizational resources. By fostering a culture of sustainability and social responsibility among employees, Green HRM aligns with the principles of 'soft HRM' and positively impacts employee job satisfaction and organizational social evaluation. This paper examines the link between Green HRM practices and their impacts through literature review and case studies, highlighting the significance of adopting green management concepts in today's competitive environment. Case studies of Nakilat and Ctrip.com demonstrate how Green HRM positively influences environmental performance, job satisfaction, and social evaluation. Despite challenges, the adoption of Green HRM remains essential for organizations aiming to achieve sustainable development and responsible resource management, thereby contributing to a greener and socially responsible future.
