Green Human Resources

Green human resource management is an interdisciplinary field drawing from organizational, strategic management, performance management and organizational performance. (Aragón-Correa & Rubio-López, 2007; Boiral, 2009, Jabbour et al., 2010; Schroeder, 2012; Clemens, 2006; Jabbour et al., 2015; La¨nsiluoto & Jarvenpa¨a¨, 2010; Marcus & Fremeth, 2009; Ambec & Lanoie, 2008) Green human resource management also benefits from the subjects of training and development, engagement, and organizational culture (Govindarajulu & Daily, 2004; Jabbour 2013b; Rothenberg, 2003; Vaccaro & Echeverri, 2010).

Green human resource management is defined by Mampra (2013) as the policies to encourage organizational environmentally sustainable use of human resources and promote environmentalism to further boosts up member morale and satisfactions. Green human resources management consists of environment friendly human resources and knowledge capital practices (Mandip, 2012; Shoeb, 2015). Green human resources management is a set of policies, systems and practices aimed to stimulate the organizational green behavior to create an environmentally sensitive, resource-efficient, and socially responsible organization.

Green human resource management is also conceptualized as the use of human resource philosophies, policies, and practices of environmentally sustainable use of natural resources and thwart any untoward harm that may arise from environmental sustainability concerns in organizations (Zoogah, 2011).
