Cover Story: The main purpose of this article is to examine the reciprocal relationships between human resource management (HRM) and environmental management (EM) through a literature review. An important aspect of the paper is to consider a relevant emerging topic that integrates HRM and EM: green human resource management (GHRM). In this regard, we have distinguished between papers that use HRM variables in general and papers that consider GHRM-specific variables. The article attempts to answer four main questions: (1) What are the relationships between HRM, GHRM, and EM? (2) What are the main human resource practices analyzed in the linkage between HRM/GHRM and EM? (3) Which methodological approaches can be appropriate to advance the study of the relationships HRM/GHRM-EM? (4) Which future lines of research are interesting? View this paper
