“A bibliometric mapping of the green human resources management knowledge base: evolution, focus, and future direction”
摘要
Green human resources management has garnered significant attention from both researchers and industry professionals worldwide; however, its comprehensive analysis remains lacking. To bridge this gap, this study grants a thorough bibliometric evaluation of the existing works. The primary objectives of this paper are fourfold: to study the evolution of “green human resources management” research, to identify key focus areas within the field, to identify research gaps, and to suggest potential directions for future research. Using bibliometric methods, 527 documents were analyzed and sourced from the Scopus database. The findings indicate that research on “green human resources management” began more than 25 years ago and has slowly expanded over time. Key emerging themes include “green human resources management,” “sustainability,” “hospitality management,” and “environmental culture,” among others.” The highest volume of related research has been produced by scholars from China (84), India (81), Malaysia (67), Pakistan (62), the United Kingdom (48), and the United States (42), among others. The findings will assist stakeholders, including policymakers and academics, in understanding both the practical and theoretical dimensions. Research gaps persist, especially in understanding the impact of GHRM on business performance and employee well-being. Future studies could examine cross-cultural differences in the implementation of GHRM and analyze how various industries adopt sustainability-driven HR strategies.
