Abstract:

Parallel to the increased awareness of environmental issues, there has been a rapid increase in studies focusing on Green Human Resource Management. Studies have shown that organizations that can link their environmental management efforts to their human resource management systems have improved organizational and employee-level outcomes. This study is a systematic review of empirical work focusing on Green Human Resources Management in service industries. Using a systematically selected sample of 48 articles, we compared the scales used to measure Green HRM, the theoretical frameworks on which the empirical papers were based, and identified the nomological network covering how Green HRM is positioned concerning its antecedents, outcomes, and mediators or moderators. We highlight important issues regarding the current state of Green Human Resources Management in service industries and provide avenues for future research.
