What is Green HRM?
Green Human Resources Management is, a set of policies,
practices and systems that (GHRM) can be defined as the set of policies,
practices, and systems that inspire green behaviour of organisations and it
employees in order to make environmental friendly, social responsible workplace
and overall organisation.
In most of the countries, governments have required green
policies, and organisations have drawn on these policies to appliance environmentally
friendly workplace practices. The accomplishment of these practices is very
much reliant on the employees and the level of their green performance. There
is a need to govern whether green behaviour can be positively influenced by
other variables. One of the suggested persuading variables is green human
resource management (HRM). Another variable with the probable inter mediating
effect is personal moral norms (PMN). And also, there is a need to inspect the
interplay of green HRM, employee green behavior (EGB), and PMN within the
context of higher education institutions (HEIs) as they also take responsibility
for protecting the environment.

Global context of green HRM
“Based on this review, it is possible to conclude that by understanding
and increasing the scope and depth of green HRM practices, organisations can
improve their environmental performance in a more sustainable manner than
before. The green HRM practices are more powerful tools in making organisations
and their operations green. The green performance, green behaviours, green
attitude, and green competencies of human resources can be shaped and reshaped
through adaptation of green HRM practices. Hence, we suggest that organisations
be required to give more priority to make each function of HRM green.”
