Green harmonious human resource management: insights and future research agenda for convergence of sustainability, corporate responsibility and eco-behavior
摘要
Firms face challenges influenced by government regulations, resource pressures, corporate reputation management, and an imbalance of interests between multiple stakeholders, which have highlighted concepts such as green harmony, green human resource management, employee green behavior, corporate environmental behavior, and corporate social responsibility. Existing research is fragmented and mostly relies on a singular perspective. This paper explores these concepts under the connotation of green-harmonious human resource management. To systematically integrate this topic and explore the holistic conceptual meaning and relationship of green harmony, sustainability, and environmental behaviors with human resource management, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing literature to unify research themes and directions, identify research potential, and develop relevant theories and implications for practice. This paper examines relevant topics through bibliometric analysis of studies published in well-reputed peer-reviewed journals and refines the research labels, concluding four distinct perspectives, i.e., ecology, harmony, responsibility, and resources. A framework for green harmonious human resource management is constructed and avenues for future research are identified.
