Application of Green Management in the Teaching, Research, and Practice of Human Resource Management

Characteristics of green management in saving costs and promoting sustainable development have been widely recognized but advanced green management theory has not been well integrated into the curriculum of human resource management majors. This study analyzes the challenges faced by green management practices from the perspective of teachers’ teaching and scientific research, notes the urgency of integrating green management into the teaching and research of human resource management majors, and proposes a methodology and teaching reform ideas for integrating green management theory and green management modes into the practice of human resource management majors’ courses. Comparative and case study research methods are used to analyze and demonstrate the application of green management theories and models in teaching and research in human resource management. Incorporating the green management theory and model into the teaching and research of human resource management can encourage enterprises to become “people-oriented”, value employees, pursue sustainable development, and achieve the organic unity of economic, social, and ecological benefits. Integrating green management into the teaching and research of human resource management enriches course content, promotes the effective combination of professional knowledge and application practice, and provides research methodology and theoretical support for teachers and students to conduct scientific research.
