Green Human Resource Management and Sustainable Performance Management

This study investigates how green human resource management facilitates sustainable performance management. In particular, the study investigates the role of specific green human resource management activities in relation to responsible production or consumption; climate action; clear water and sanitation; and sustainable cities. Drawing on secondary literature, the study suggests that green human resource management can bolster sustainable performance management and vice versa, thus leading to the attainment of responsible production or consumption; climate action; clear water and sanitation; and sustainable cities. The study extends the extant literature on green human resource management by uncovering how the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals framework and the ability, motivation, and opportunity model interact in order to facilitate the development and deployment of green skills as well as contribute towards the attainment of the environmental dimension of the Sustainable Development Goals through green leadership. The practical implications of the findings are also discussed.
