Title: Tracing the Green Path: A Bibliometric Review of GHRM Practices and Their Impact on Employee Performance
Abstract: Purpose- this study addresses the growing importance of environmental sustainability in organizational strategies by exploring green human resource management (GHRM) as a key driver in promoting ecologically responsible behaviour and performance among employees. Aim(s)- the primary aim is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of existing literature on GHRM to understand its intellectual structure, thematic focus, and impact on employee performance over time. Design/methodology/approach- the study utilizes 238 peer-reviewed, open-access journal articles published between 1989 and 2025 in the web of science database. VosViewer software was employed to analyse keyword co-occurrence, thematic clusters, and bibliographic coupling, providing a visual and quantitative understanding of GHRM research trends. Findings- five major research clusters emerged: behavioural, policy-driven, technological, psychological, and socio-economic dimensions of GHRM. Although academic interest in GHRM is growing, empirical studies that directly correlate GHRM practices with employee performance remain limited. Limitation(s) of the study- the study is confined to open-access articles from the web of science database, potentially excluding relevant research from other indexes or non-English sources. Originality/value- this research contributes a comprehensive, data-driven overview of GHRM scholarship, identifying research gaps and offering direction for future studies that can bridge theory with practical outcomes in employee performance.
