Understanding Green Performance Management: A Counterpart to Green HRM

Abstract/Description

Purpose

The integration of environmental sustainability into organizational practices has led to the emergence of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), with Green Performance Management (GPM) being a crucial component. However, the existing literature has not explicitly defined green performance management. The purpose of this review is to explore in depth the extent to which the concept of green performance management has been brought under discussion within the existing body of knowledge.

Methodology/Approach

This study addresses this gap through a literature review (LR), employing an inductive approach to analyze and synthesize various perspectives and implied definitions of GPM across academic discourse. The literature review approach was followed using the keyword “green performance management.” Whereas the keyword was searched on only one research database Google Scholar based on predefined criteria, focusing on published journal articles only.

Findings

The findings suggest that the existing literature does reflect upon the need for a system that fosters awareness of green behaviors among employees of an organization. However, the existing literature does not explicitly define what green performance management is and how it can be introduced to become an integral part of the employee performance management system, along with organizational performance metrics to meet regulatory standards.

Originality

Through this study, the author has tried to broaden this under-discussed topic and has opened a dialogue for academic discourse that, in the future, may become a powerful tool with massive support for environmental sustainability ideas.

Research implications

As the current study would add to the existing body of knowledge on green human resource management (GHRM), it would have a wide ramification on the policy makers, HR managers, and administrators who are finding novel ways to decrease their carbon footprint and improve the organization’s suitability

Practical implications

The footprint of current study is multidimensional and large enough to cover various organizations ranging from hospitality industry to healthcare to education and more importantly the manufacturing and production industries which can leverage the green performance management to their full advantage while benefiting the environment in the same time.

Social implications

Although the current study mainly focuses on the organizational level, learned green behavior actualized from the findings of the current study would also have a phenomenal impact over the society at large as the learners would naturally keep the environmental sustainability in consideration while running their errands. The at least would be aware of the dangers of exhausting the natural resources and invertedly putting their survival into danger.
