Abstract
The present research aims to design a dynamic model for Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) within organizations. In terms of purpose, this study is applied-developmental, and methodologically, it is a qualitative-exploratory research. The study population consists of 15 academic experts and senior human resource managers, selected through snowball sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis with MAXQDA software, following the process of open, axial, and selective coding. The findings revealed that the dynamic GHRM model comprises six key dimensions: “Green Competencies,” “Environmental Organizational Culture,” “Green Management Support,” “Green Job Engagement,” “Sustainable Performance Feedback,” and “Structural Flexibility.” The analysis of themes and the network of codes indicate that these dimensions operate as a continuous learning-interactive cycle rather than a linear progression; they enhance organizational sustainability through feedback mechanisms, adaptive processes, and cultural institutionalization. By providing a qualitative and contextualized model, this research fills the existing theoretical gap in GHRM literature and offers a conceptual roadmap for the systematic, adaptive, and sustainable implementation of this approach in organizations within developing contexts.
