A CONCEPTUAL RESEARCH ON GREEN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN GREEN HOSPITALS
Abstract
Green human resources management, which requires change, contributes to changing the culture, structure, strategy and regulations in healthcare organizations in a way that encourages environmental sustainability. The aim of the study prepared based on this reality is to evaluate the knowledge stock in the literature on the subject of "the role of green human resources management practices in creating a sustainable environmental culture in green hospitals". The research was prepared with the qualitative research method; It includes the presentation of the basic concepts related to "green hospital" and "green human resources management" and the relationships between these concepts in a pattern from general to specific and the drawing of their boundaries. The fact that health services are directly related to human life necessitates individuals from different professions to work in harmony in teams, and the management of complex relationships between teams increases the need for effective human resources management in health services. As a result of the research, it was seen that the green management approach applied in hospitals provides savings by using existing resources without waste and brings the responsibility of protecting the environment. It was understood that green managements create green behaviors, and these behaviors provide waste reduction, cost savings, competitive advantage for employees and benefits the environment. It was also revealed that green human resources practices are positively affected by environmentally oriented leadership. Despite their strategic importance, green human resources management practices are still in their infancy in the health sector. However, health organizations have begun to understand the need to increase environmental awareness with these practices in order to ensure their long-term sustainability.
