Abstract

As per a report by UNCTAD, with outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide, human activities have stopped witnessing the revival of nature; CO2 emission, global air traffic reduced by 25%, 60%, respectively. The effects on environment like improved air quality index, less resource consumption are short-lived as these are likely to rise to previous levels once economic activities pick up after crisis. Henceforth, it has become need of an hour to tackle the environmental concerns at organisational level by aligning environmental management, HRM and technology. Considering Asian economic advancement and environment adversity, it is imperative to explore GHRM in Asian context to move a step forward attaining organisational sustainability. Our findings, based on multimethod for collection of qualitative and quantitative data and analysis via NVIVO and IBM SPSS 23, respectively, confirm the degree of implementation of GHRM practices and also found the relationship between GHRM and organisational sustainability. Data was collected using survey questionnaire and interview from 107 h professionals of various sectors. However, more such studies are important for developing countries to address environmental concerns.
