ABSTRACT 

Purpose: The paper aims to review advancements and current literature in the field of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM). It further intends to understand the relationship of GHRM with multiple variables and to highlight multiple green initiatives that organizations can use to further their environmental agenda.

Prevalent GHRM practices include green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management, green compensation, and green involvement.
Originality: This study, in contrast to earlier reviews on GHRM, focused on investigating the functions of GHRM and various green initiatives such as green commuting, green buildings, energy conservation, paperless offices, employee recycling, virtual employee experience, change management, people’s analytics, and work in the metaverse.
