Abstract

Green human resource management practices have been “the talk” when people start to focus on going green. Organizations prefer to use practices that can actually generate eco-innovations that could result in reducing of costs and wastes. The purpose of this chapter is to further investigate whether the implementation of green human resource management would actually help boost working mother performance. Twenty working mothers participated in the survey. The number of participants may be small, but knowing that these practices were not yet implemented in Brunei Darussalam, data are acceptable for testing. To conclude, only a few participants were aware of green human resource management and agree that implementing it would give positive impact towards their performance.

Introduction

Green Human Resource Management (GHRM)

Employees are said to be one of the essential factors in developing and maintaining an organization or a company. With the correct guidance and motivation, the employee can quickly achieve the organization or the company’s vision. Green human resource management is becoming very popular among businesses and organizations. (Moch Yusuf Fathussalam et al., 2021). Employees are used to assisting sustainability by boosting employee responsiveness and commitments, referred to as Green Human Resource Management (Rani& Mishra, 2014). Authors notably in the field of HRM agreed that GHRM helps firms decrease costs, boost employee awareness, increase employee engagement, and is environmentally friendly, for instance, vehicle sharing, job sharing, flexible working hours, teleconferencing, online training, etc. ((Moch Yusuf Fathussalam et al., 2021; Rani & Mishra, 2014)

According to (Jabbour & De Sousa Jabbour 2016), Human resource practices, recruiting, selection, performance evaluation, training and rewards, and tools of Human Resource Management are all part of Green Human Resource Management. Still, they are all connected with environmental goals, company culture, teamwork, and employee empowerment. (Jabbour et al., 2013; Jabbour & De Sousa Jabbour, 2016; Alshareef & Tunio, 2022; Shaikh, et al., 2022; Tunio, et al., 2021; Memon, et al., 2021).

Research gap 1: Earlier research was dated back less than 20 years ago, which is research; data were not that supported anymore but still can be used. The topic then re-surfaced in 2013, but the author only found a limited number of journals, articles, and books. Hence, to address the gap, it is best if researchers acknowledge this gap for future research to conduct more research on the said topic ‘Green Human Resource Management.

Research gap 2: Researchers widely used a systematic review approach and data-driven research related to green human resource management. Only a few used quantitative methods for data collection. For future research, it is best to use a qualitative approach to understand further how Green Human Resource Management affected the performance of working mothers.
