Abstract: This systematic literature review explores the roles of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) in promoting sustainable organizational practices. As environmental sustainability becomes a priority for businesses, GHRM practices, such as green recruitment, green training, green performance management, green pay and rewards and green employee engagement, are increasingly integrated into corporate strategies. By synthesizing 35 articles, this review identifies key dimensions of GHRM and examines their impact on environmental performance, with a focus on diverse industries and regions. It highlights challenges such as limited leadership commitment, resource constraints, and cultural resistance that impede GHRM adoption. The review emphasizes the importance of aligning GHRM with corporate strategy, leadership involvement, and standardized metrics to ensure long-term sustainability. Recommendations for future research include exploring industry-specific GHRM barriers, the role of organizational culture in sustaining GHRM, and the potential of digital transformation in enhancing GHRM practices. This study provides valuable insights for organizations seeking to implement effective GHRM strategies that drive both environmental and business outcomes.
