Abstract

Growing environmental pressures have compelled hospitals to transition toward the green hospital concept, yet human resources remain an underexplored determinant, positioning Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) as a strategic approach to embedding environmental values across all HRM functions. This study aims to analyze the impact of GHRM on green hospital implementation, identify facilitating factors, and map the barriers faced by hospitals in adopting GHRM practices. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design guided by PRISMA, data were collected from four databases—ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Scopus, and Google Scholar—yielding 2,959 records, of which 16 studies met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed using VOSviewer for bibliometric mapping. The results indicate that GHRM positively influences sustainable performance, corporate sustainability, and employee pro-environmental behavior, with green training showing the strongest effect on organizational reputation. Additionally, transformational leadership and organizational policy emerged as the main facilitating factors, while financial constraints and limited managerial knowledge were identified as the primary barriers. In conclusion, the integrated implementation of GHRM, supported by strong organizational and governmental policies, can significantly accelerate the realization of sustainable green hospitals.
