Contemporary Developments in Green Human Resource Management Research: Towards Sustainability in Action? [Hardcover]

This book examines a new topic in Human Resource Management (HRM), green  or environmental  HRM, analysing the role humans play in environmental management at work and environmental behaviours at workplaces around the world.

The book begins with a focus on negative workplace green behaviours (e.g. toxic chemical leaks, air pollution, contaminated waste etc.), and what such environmental problems mean for workers, managers and society as a whole.

This book outlines relevant, underpinning academic theory and research literature on how HRM is going green, and details real-life organisational examples derived from original and secondary empirical research to illuminate the implications of adopting Green HRM practices for relevant stakeholders. In doing so, the book offers a new, academic contribution to both the HRM and environmental management literatures.
