In the last 10 years, both industry and academia have been interested in the green workplace and sustainable environment. New study fields, such as green human resource management (GHRM) and sustainability, began to appear consequently. A green workplace is the environmentalism of conventional business processes. To assist companies in developing and implementing sustainable strategies and attain corporate sustainability, GHRM and sustainability can play a crucial role. The article offers a current overview of GHRM and sustainability and aids in comprehending development in the field. GHRM and sustainability are examined through bibliometric analysis of the body of existing business and management literature. Utilizing bibliometric analysis and the R Studio program for network and descriptive analysis, we examined 227 publications sourced from Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) datasets. This article examines the research area and rising keywords as well as the trends in the fields of GHRM and sustainability growth from 2010 to 2024. The results imply that GHRM publication started long back and has been steadily increasing ever since. Over the past 10 years, publications in this area of research have increased immensely. As far as the authors are aware, the history of bibliometric analysis on GHRM and sustainability research is examined in this article for the first time. Policymakers, businesses, and academics will be able to better understand the theoretical and practical facets of GHRM and sustainability to pinpoint relevant issues that need to be addressed with the aid of this study. Moreover, these findings could function as a roadmap for subsequent research endeavors concerning GHRM and sustainability.
