Abstract

Environmental protection and sustainability are one of the prominent issues in the twenty first century. Corporate and multinational organisations are putting in place competent skilled human resources management policies in the creation of green friendly environment and sustainable development.  Therefore, the overall objectives of this research were to conduct a literature review of the role, importance and identification of gaps of Green HRM. An explorative and qualitative research approach was purely adopted, which was based on intensive review of past literatures from impact journals. Data was collected from previous articles which assisted us to identifying the gaps and build knowledge in the field. The empirical findings proved that Green HRM practices promote environmental sustainability, support social wellbeing of the people and ensure green performance. The study was limited to peer review of previous literatures by mapping out the gaps in green human resources practice. Integrating environmental and ecosystem management into HRM policies in an organization assisted in the overall environmental performance. Government support on green regulatory framework should be developed to ensure effective implementation of green environmental strategies and sustainability. Integrated green culture and environmental management should be cultivated among employees.
