Green Human Resources Management Practices and Employees’ Performance and Outcomes: An Empirical Systematic Review

Abstract

Although many recent research studies have addressed Green Human Resources Management (GHRM), the extent literature lacks theoretical, empirical, and methodological systematization. That is, not all GHRM practices are tackled systematically and collectively while covering such an extensive topic. This thesis aims to show the importance of integrating GHRM practices into HR policies and procedures, determine the antecedents of GRHM, and examine how GHRM could enhance employees’ outcomes and improve business performance as well as environmental sustainability. Additionally, and most importantly, this thesis aims to assess empirical evidence from previous literature linking determinants of GHRM with employee and organizational outcomes through GRHM practices. To understand how GHRM practices can be promoted and how they impact favorable employee and organizational outcomes, a systematic literature review on previous evidence-based literature related to this topic has been conducted. The findings show the underlying mechanism linking GHRM to its antecedents, outcomes, and boundaries, as well as suggest future research.
