Abstract

This paper is presenting the current progressions and research gaps in Green Human Resource Management literature and investigates the future of green practices in meeting the social sustainability requirements of an organisation. By keeping in mind, the growing awareness on greening and sustainability, a systematic review of the domain specific literature was carried out using the available databases we came to a conclusion which exhibits all the human resource activities into three clusters namely, green human resource management practices, employee green behaviour at workplace and organisational sustainability. Further it was found the social sustainability to be the least explored area than economic and environmental pillars of sustainability. With this, the author conceptually explored the theoretical concepts with explaining the mediational role of ‘employee green behaviour at workplace’ in the relationship between ‘green human resource management practices’ and ‘social sustainability’ of organisations. Therefore, prioritising social equity, health, wellness and well-being, this work examines the state-of-the-art in green human resource management research to unravel the enormous potential of core green practices envisioning social sustainability, which has not been established till date.
The objective of this study is an effort in direction of green HR practices as it will be helpful in knowing the level of awareness regarding green HR among the people.
