GREEN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN HOSPITALITY INDUSTRIES: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
The publication of the Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) review in the hospitality industry still leaves extensive development opportunities. GHRM's strategic role in realizing sustainable tourism needs to be studied from the forming factors, technical application, and its impact on various variables. Through the systematic literature review process, this article seeks to uncover GHRM studies in the hospitality industry from 2016-to 2021. The data sources used come from Science Direct, Sage Journal, and Emerald outlets with multi-region viewpoints. Implementing the PRISMA protocol revealed that the application of GHRM in the hospitality industry is closely related to the AMO Concept, Environmental Management System, and several impact variables, mainly on financial aspects, corporate image, and environmental performance.
