Description
Summary:The purpose of study is to analyze the spread of practices of GHRM in Ukraine and develop conceptual basis for the implementation of environmental issues into HR practices. The paper focuses on the providing integrated approach to GHRM practices, which should be implemented in all HRM functions. The article contains important theoretical and methodological principles for research of GHRM. The research showed that the GHRM could be seen as a tool for implementing corporate social responsibility programs related to environmental protection. Furthermore, GHRM covers a wide range of practices related to encouraging environment friendly behaviour and innovative environmental initiatives of employees. The analysis has shown that the green issues and development of the green economy are relevant for Ukraine, but the GHRM practices have not become widespread. This has been confirmed by the results of analysing job advertisements in the HRM sphere, posted on the most popular job sites. The article contains directions for increasing awareness of owners, managers, HR specialists on GHRM practices: implementation of relevant courses in universities’ educational programs, certification programs, development of training programs, initiation of round tables and conferences on GHRM issues.
