For this purpose, the authors have used a systematic literature review to study the scientific research papers published in Google Scholar. The research results led to the appearance of 925 scientific articles from 2006 to 2022. By relying on many of the criteria that were identified, only 131 articles were chosen that are the most valuable and related to the management of green human resource management in the field of management and business, which intends to determine the impact of the application of green human resource management practices on organizations and to know the primary benefits, mechanisms and implementation procedures. The current study reached several conclusions, among which green human resource management practices is the best way to survive and preserve organizations, considering the concerns of protecting the global environment.
