In the highly competitive business world and among stakeholders who care about the environment, the idea of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has recently drawn a lot of attention.

The findings show that green HRM practices including Green Recruitment and Selection (GRS), Green Training and Development (GTD), Green Performance Appraisal (GPA), Green Compensation (GC), and Green Health and Safety (GHS) have a positive impact on the sustainable workforce of the hotel sector in Cox’s Bazar. Thus, green HRM practices effectively promote the sustainable workforce to the hotels in Cox’s Bazar. The findings of this study proclaim that this investigation has important ramifications for both theoretical comprehension and real-world implementation of HRM practices in the hotel Industry.
