Green HRM and Sustainability: As a source of Competitive Advantage

We are living in a more environmental friendly world and we are aware of our duty to contribute as much as possible to the welfare of our environment. This paper seeks to provide simplified general reflections on Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM), which is a new concept at least in the Indian context and indeed has great potential to serve the individual, society, businesses and the environment. This article focuses on the meaning of green HRM, the importance of green HRM, the need for green human resources, the greening of HRM functions and the results of some green HRM research studies. The research paper is expected to have some value in sparking interest among potential researchers and gaining a conceptual understanding of Green HRM. Ultimately, the paper proposes some research agenda for the future study.
