An Empirical Study Concerning Educational Institutions on the Effects of Green HRM Practices on Employee Retention and Organisational Sustainability

Abstract

Green Human Resources Management involves adapting traditional HR practices to incorporate environmentally sustainable approaches. While this concept has been widely embraced in corporate settings, its adoption in educational institutes (EIs) remains relatively new. Through an extensive review of existing literature, this study has identified challenges related to GHRM strategies, concerning policies, associated with procedures, and few challenges in establishing GHRM rules within EIs. The aim is to examine and understand the interconnections between major and minor challenges in implementing GHRM practices in educational contexts. However, the effective implementation of these initiatives remains a challenge. This research paper aims to shed light on the various Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) activities undertaken by educational institutions in existing literature review from 25 Papers. By doing so, it seeks to underscore the significance of GHRM in contributing to the sustainable development of organizations. Implementing a robust Green Human Resource Management system can raise awareness among management and staff about waste management, resource reduction, and campus cleanliness. Employee happiness and other stakeholder satisfaction may increase as a result, motivating workers to increase productivity. Significant obstacles to the adoption of GHRM include the need for sustainable GHRM practices in educational institutions, benchmarks for determining accountability that take the policy into account, appropriate course curricula in universities that focus on GHRM practices from a procedural standpoint, and transparency in EIs from a regulatory perspective. In further research, the outcomes of the reported results might be expanded upon through cross-sectional and cross-cultural studies.
