What is Green Human Resource Management

Researchers and practitioners have argued that human resource management practices have a positive impact on environmental outcomes. This is because green human resource management practices enhance a firm's environmental performance. Although studies do not explain how green initiatives can enable organisational sustainability, this chapter examines the influence of green human resource management practices on organisational sustainability in the context of Nigeria. The chapter adopted a discourse content analysis as a method of data collection. The chapter holds that organisational sustainability relies on green training intervention as the means of understanding and redressing the human environment with a view to achieving and sustaining a better quality of life. Conclusively, green human resource management practices target protecting the ecosystem, among others. The chapter recommended that sustainability could be achieved through employee green behaviour and eco-innovation at the industrial level.
