<![CDATA[Purpose: This study aims to systematically review and synthesize existing literature on the implementation of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). It seeks to identify key practices, impacts, challenges, and emerging research trends related to GHRM within the MSME context. Methodology/approach: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Relevant articles were collected from international academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The review employed keyword combinations related to GHRM, MSMEs, and sustainability. A total of 37 peer-reviewed journal articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected studies were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify dominant themes, theoretical foundations, and research gaps.Results/findings: The findings reveal that GHRM positively influences environmental performance, sustainable performance, and competitive advantage in MSMEs, primarily through mediating mechanisms such as green behavior, green innovation, and employee engagement. However, GHRM implementation in MSMEs is often informal, context-specific, and constrained by limited resources and managerial capabilities. Recent studies also highlight emerging trends linking GHRM with digitalization, artificial intelligence, and green intellectual capital.Limitations: This review is limited to English-language journal articles and does not include empirical field data.Contribution: This study contributes to the GHRM and sustainability literature by providing a comprehensive synthesis focused on MSMEs and offering insights for academics, policymakers, and MSME practitioners in developing context-sensitive green HR strategies.]]>
