Authors Shiva Ram Patnaik , Rabi Narayan Subudhi
Broad area HRM
Abstract

Green Human Resource Management is a prominent concept within the broader context of sustainable development, aligning human resource practices with environmental sustainability goals. Despite its growing significance, GHRM is relatively new, and there is limited analysis of its development, trends, and collaborative networks. To address this gap, a study was carried out to answer three research questions such as What is the total number of articles related to Green-HRM, and how are they distributed globally between developed and developing countries, Which journals received the highest number of citations in the area of Green Human Resource Management, and Who are the most prominent authors and those with the highest citation counts in the area of Green Human Resource Management. The study analysed dataset from the Scopus database which consists of 422 records from 2018 to 2024. The selection criteria included articles published in the fields of business, management, and accounting. The findings showed that the majority of international GHRM research is published in the Journal of Cleaner Production. The Prominent authors contributing to the field of Green Human Resource Management are Yusliza MY, Ramayah T, Ren S, Tang G, and Chaudhary R. Additionally, the study found that GHRM documents have an annual growth rate of 35.93 percent. The research indicated that trending topics in GHRM include green voice behavior, green HRM practices, and environmental sustainability. These insights provide valuable information for future researchers and can help policymakers understand the role of HRM in different fields. This study highlights the need for cross-cultural and multicultural studies in GHRM and provides a roadmap for future scholarly inquiry in this field. The analysis of the dataset has shown that interest in GHRM has increased and identified key contributors and influential publications. These results enable future researchers to learn about existing themes and find new research opportunities. Policymakers might find these results essential for understanding the present role of HRM in different sectors, supporting further studies for robust outcomes. The study not only clarifies the past and present landscape of GHRM but also provides a roadmap for future scholarly inquiry, contributing to the advancement of both theory and practice in this vital field.
