Advancing Sustainable Practices in the Bangladeshi Ready-Made Garments Industry: A Systematic Review and Future Research Avenues in Green Human Resource Management

This paper focuses on Green Human Resource Management in the Bangladeshi Ready Made  Garments industry. It is claimed that the concept of GHRM fits in the Bangladeshi RMG  industry context, especially in aspects such as HRM, sustainability, environmental  management, green management, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). However, there  is a paucity of researcher that has suggested potential research avenues by focusing on  GHRM in the early mentioned industry context. To address this gap in literature and to fully  understand and develop further knowledge on GHRM, this paper contextualizes the notion of  GHRM in the context of export-oriented small, medium, and large firms predominantly in the  RMG industry in all five geo-political regions in Bangladesh to offer a comprehensive future  research avenues. Systematically reviewing 57 papers, this paper has provided a  comprehensive overview of different aspects of the Bangladeshi RMG industry and the extent  of GHRM practices implementation there. The review has revealed six contextual gaps for  the potential researchers in the relevant field. The originality of this paper lies in the fact that  it has highlighted the GHRM research gaps in the Bangladeshi RMG industry context which  is found absent in the literature.
