Green Human Resource Management as a Driver of Sustainable Corporate Performance: Insights from Bibliographic Coupling Analysis

Research on green human resource management (GHRM) and sustainable corporate performance (SCP) has expanded rapidly, but reviews differ in scope, performance definitions, and analytical approaches. This study examines contemporary intellectual relationships in GHRM and SCP research, explicitly adopting the triple bottom line perspective. Following PRISMA 2020, 144 Scopus records were screened, yielding 79 studies for the review corpus. Bibliographic coupling of documents in VOSviewer used shared references and a minimum link strength of 10, retaining thirty-three documents grouped into five clusters. Qualitative content analysis within clusters was used to interpret themes, mechanisms, research gaps, and future directions. Five research streams emerged: employee green behavior and corporate social responsibility; green innovation; green supply chain management and big data analytics; mediating mechanisms; and environmental management systems. This study complements existing reviews by providing a focused synthesis of GHRM and SCP research at the document level and clarifying directions for subsequent empirical research.

Abstract

Research on green human resource management (GHRM) and sustainable corporate performance (SCP) has expanded rapidly, but reviews differ in scope, performance definitions, and analytical approaches. This study examines contemporary intellectual relationships in GHRM and SCP research, explicitly adopting the triple bottom line perspective. Following PRISMA 2020, 144 Scopus records were screened, yielding 79 studies for the review corpus. Bibliographic coupling of documents in VOSviewer used shared references and a minimum link strength of 10, retaining thirty-three documents grouped into five clusters. Qualitative content analysis within clusters was used to interpret themes, mechanisms, research gaps, and future directions. Five research streams emerged: employee green behavior and corporate social responsibility; green innovation; green supply chain management and big data analytics; mediating mechanisms; and environmental management systems. This study complements existing reviews by providing a focused synthesis of GHRM and SCP research at the document level and clarifying directions for subsequent empirical research.
