 Abstract:

This paper aims to study the impact of implementing green human resources management (GHRM) in government institutions in the Jordanian Ministry of Justice. The population of this paper is all the Jordanian government institutions and the sample is the Jordanian Ministry of Justice, the questionnaire was designed with four aspects to collect the data related to environmental sustainability, organization performance, recruitment, and competitive advantages for the year 2021 and distributed to 75 employees of Jordanian Ministry of Justice. The paper has one independent variable that represents the GHRM and four dependent variables and they are environmental sustainability, performance, recruitment of human resources, and competitive advantages, to measure the data collected SPSS packages such as descriptive statistical analysis, Cronbach Alpha, the normal distribution and One-sample T-test were used. The researcher concluded that the implementation of green human resources management has a positive effect on environmental sustainability by performing green practices, improving performance by reducing cost while maintaining the quality of performed services, recruiting human resources by increasing employee satisfaction and competitive advantages by the good reputation of Jordanian government institutions. The researcher recommends the need to strengthen awareness among employees through guidance programs about the importance of implementation of this relatively modern type of management in Jordanian government institutions.
