Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) is important in ensuring that an organization’s green initiatives and efforts are embraced by all their employees. Concerns on global warming, environmental issues, and also sustainability have come into serious agenda where most of the firms and organizations have actively taken action to expand and evolve in managing relationships with the natural environment by doing green management. Adopting major (GHRM) practices would lead to the implementation of Green Management practices (GMGT) in achieving Green Competitive Advantage (GCA). The aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework in establishing a link between GHRM, GMGT, and GCA. In addition, the role of stakeholder pressure as a moderator was also being examined in this study. This research is primarily a conceptual paper that draws on a database of past research and literature review in the area of GHRM. In addition, this research also proposed future studies to empirically examine the proposed relationship discussed in this paper.
