Abstract

This paper seeks to provide simplified general reflections in respect of green human resource management (green HRM) that is a novel concept at least in Sri Lankan context and indeed has a great potential to serve the individual, society and business. The paper has its focus on seven aspects such as meaning of green, reasons for greening, meaning of green HRM, importance of green HRM, green human resource requirements, greening of HRM functions and the findings of some green HRM research studies. It is hoped that the paper has some utility for generating an interest within potential researchers and for gaining a conceptual understanding of green HRM.
