Sustainable Human Resource Management, Green Human Resource Management, and Environmental Human Resource Management: Analysis of New and Emerging Terms Related to the Human Resource Area
Abstract
Purpose: Sustainable Human Resource Management (S-HRM), Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), and Environmental Human Resource Management (Environmental HRM) are terms that have been increasingly used in the field of human resources. This article aims to analyse how these terms are being used in the literature to identify if there are conceptual differences between them.
Methodology/Approach: The study was based on analysing publications on the subject indexed in the Web of Science, covering 543 articles. Clustering techniques based on co-citation and co-occurrence of keywords were used to verify the existence or absence of distinct groupings that differentiated these terms.
Findings: The results indicate the existence of well-defined Clusters concerning co-citation. The analysis of the co-occurrence networks of keywords also suggests the existence of specificities regarding the use of the terms S-HRM and GHRM.
Research Limitation/Implication: The research was limited to the database analysed, and it was suggested that the sample be expanded with other databases.
Originality/Value of paper: this study can contribute to advancing discussions on the subject, which is relevant for standardising concepts among researchers and practitioners who work in the area.
