Abstract

Green human resource management (GHRM) has attracted researchers worldwide. In Vietnam, this topic has been initially researched but not yet applied by many businesses. The purpose of this article is to explore the content and criteria of GHRM based on a literature review. Using desk research and in-depth interview methods, the article has summarized and identified GHRM measurement criteria for small and medium enterprises in Vietnam, focusing on Green job design and analysis, Green recruitment, Green training and development, Green performance evaluation, Green reward and discipline, and Green labor management. These criteria are orientations for applying GHRM in Vietnamese enterprises, and are at the same time suggestions for further research on GHRM in Vietnam.
