Abstract

En 中文
This study examines the field of human resource development (HRD) functionalities related to the evolution of green organizational culture (GOC), its determinants, and implications for HRD, aiming to fill the gap in scattered and more outcome-focused literature. The primary objective is to generalize the empirical data on how GOC is conceptualized, developed, and maintained through HRD-related processes, including training, leadership development, organizational learning, and green behavior in employees. Within the PRISMA framework, a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of peer-reviewed journal articles identified in the Scopus database up to 2024 (2000–2024) were conducted. After thorough screening and satisfying the eligibility criteria, 35 empirical studies were included in the analysis. Bibliometric techniques were employed to examine trends in publications, journals, and authors of significant impact, as well as the collaboration networks and the evolution of topics of interest, utilizing Bibliometrix (R). The findings indicate that academic output has increased significantly since 2021, with over 70% of publications occurring in the past four years. The theoretical contribution of this study is that GOC emerges as a strategic cultural and developmental potential, providing a systematic research agenda and practical implications for HRD professionals in their attempt to institutionalize sustainability in organizations.
