Abstract: To mitigate the problem of pollution and environmental deterioration, organisations are heading toward the adoption of green practices. Green human resource management (GHRM) is one such practice that attempts to increase human participation in organisational green practices. It reduces the adverse impact of human-related activities on the environment. The emergent area of GHRM has been quickly progressing with a tremendous growth rate in the production of academic publications in this area. This paper performs a bibliometric and thematic analysis of 224 papers collected from the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus database in GHRM. The analysis is conducted with the help of biblioshiny software. The study aims to identify the most influential and productive paper in GHRM and determine the recent trends in the area. It is found that GHRM is on the development path and getting massive attention mainly from Asian academics.
