The Impact of Green Leadership on Sustainable Human Resource Management Practices

Abstract

In the context of global sustainability, the need for green transformation and corporate environmental responsibility (CER) is increasingly urgent. This study examines how green leadership builds sustainable organizational practices and serves as a cornerstone of green human resource management (GHRM). In order to integrate environmental values into HR systems, this paper specifically explores how green leadership can be integrated with recruitment, training, performance management, and employee engagement. Based on a review of recent research, green leadership has an impact on GHRM at both the macro level (alignment of institutional and strategic frameworks) and the micro level (impact on employee behavior and organizational culture). The study suggests that green leadership sets the vision and expectations, GHRM puts them into practice, and employee engagement sustains the leadership commitment. This study contributes to both practice and theory by emphasizing the broader impact of leadership in promoting sustainable human resource systems, providing companies with practical strategies for pursuing environmentally friendly goals, and deepening academic discussion on the relationship between sustainability, leadership, and human resource management.
