The present investigation centers on the function of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) in augmenting environmental performance and employee engagement. Organizations use GHRM as a strategic method to deal with environmental concerns that arise from both the inside and the outside. The goal of the study is to emphasize how important GHRM is to creating an ecologically conscious and sustainable workplace. Organizations can enhance environmental performance by lowering waste generation and pollution levels, prioritizing employee engagement, and establishing a safe and healthy work environment. In order to determine whether GHRM, employee engagement, and environmental outcomes are related, the study looks at these relationships in the hopes that applying green practices will increase organizational profitability. In order to avoid greenwashing and match HRM tactics with environmental concerns, the GHRM idea is essential. By underlining the benefits of businesses' environmental actions and the contribution of GHRM in recent advancements, this study adds to the body of literature.
