Abstract: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to identify trends in Green HRM research related to sustainability over the past decade and to determine how green human research management (GHRM) research is related to sustainability, its antecedents, and the level of implementation. After analyzing keywords through the VOSviewer application, the results showed that green human resource management is an umbrella keyword, allowing the identification of related research areas such as environmental management and environmental sustainability. The results also showed that most (63%) of the selected articles were published in the last three years and most of the articles were published in Q1 journals. Furthermore, most articles used quantitative methodologies and were conducted in developing countries. It has also gained the highest interest in employees’ sustainable behavior and environmental sustainability, but there are few studies on social sustainability and economic performance. The study also found that the implementation level of GHRM in organizations is moderate, with very few studies in this aspect. The originality of this systematic review lies in examining the link between GHRM and corporate sustainability goals. This paper is limited to reviewing online sources using only academic articles from Scopus and Web of Science; other sources are ignored. It will help academics by providing future research directions for investigation. Top management can also better understand how GHRM helps organizations achieve sustainability goals.
