Environmental training: a systematic review of the state of the art of the theme

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to carry out a systematic review of the state of the art of the environmental training theme and to propose a research agenda to shed light on this subject by suggesting new research in the area. Design/methodology/approach This is a systematic review of the state of the art of the environmental training theme. Findings The authors’ main contribution is the proposal of a research agenda with 11 recommendations for future research, such as conducting research in developed countries; research focusing only on environmental training; qualitative research using case studies; research that explores the co-evolution of environmental training practices with environmental management practices and with the maturity stage of environmental management in organizations; and research that addresses all aspects of environmental training phases proposed by ISO 10015: 2001. Originality/value This is the most recent research which conducts a systematic review of the state of the art on environmental training and proposes a research agenda with several suggestions that can guide researchers in human resources, environmental management, sustainability and supply chain management.

A meta‐review of 10 years of green human resource management: is Green HRM headed towards a roadblock or a revitalisation?

“…Six of the 10 Green HRM literature reviews scoped the concept in entirety while the remaining focused on Green HRM subsets. These subsets, representing standard HRM activities and responsibilities, included green recruitment and/or selection (Adjei‐Bamfo et al 2019), green training (Stefanelli et al 2019) or green employee empowerment (Tariq, Jan and Ahmad 2016).…”

“…Here Yong et al (2019, 2014) reported this to be ‘the most important or useful initiative’ available to organisations when initiating a Green HRM strategy. Moreover, Stefanelli et al’s (2019) review found that 49% of reviewed papers focused on environmental training practices. Pham et al’s (2019) review reported other HRM practices having green focus, including green rewards (49% of reviewed articles), green employee engagement (28%) and green performance management (46%).…”

“…Domain 3 provides for identified gaps in the literature. Stefanelli et al (2019), Pham et al (2019) and Yong et al (2019) provide a systematic identification of gaps in the research. Gaps relate to both the breadth and/or knowledge across industry and depth of understanding of processes and interactions.…”

Green supply chain management in Latin America: Systematic literature review and future directions

“…To create a classification and coding system, a methodology similar to those used by Stefanelli (2019), Jabbour, Azevedo, Arantes, and Jabbour (2013), and Junior and Godinho Filho (2010) was employed.…”

“…The main objective of this paper was to conduct a systematic review of the literature on GSCM in the Latin American context. Studies of this nature are relevant to the development of the proposed themes (Jabbour et al., 2013; Kampen et al., 2012; Stefanelli, Teixeira, Oliveira, Ferreira, & Sehnem, 2019), as they categorize what has already been published on the subject and suggest future research agendas, which may be useful as guiding tools for academics and practitioners who work or are interested in the field.…”
