Abstract: To mitigate the problem of pollution and environmental deterioration, the organisations are heading towards the adoption of green practices. Green human resource management (GHRM) is one of those practices that may reduce the adverse impact of human-related activities on the environment. This research paper analyses the factors that lead to the implementation of GHRM in organisations through interpretative structural modelling (ISM). It is a conceptual study. ISM has been used to identify and analyse the factors leading to GHRM and develop a relationship among them. Further, MICMAC analysis is conducted to delineate the autonomous, linkage, dependent, and independent factors. In this study, nine factors are identified and a hierarchal relationship has been established. Green team is found to be the most important factor followed by green cafeteria and green employee involvement for implementation of GHRM in organisations.

Keywords: green human resource management; GHRM; interpretative structural modelling; ISM; green team; green job analysis; MICMAC.
