Abstract

This study aims to get insight into Green HRM practices in Bangladesh's banking sector using electronic HRM to contribute to workplace sustainability. The study also looks at the challenges in such practices and proposes some suggestions for successful adoption of GHRM through E-HRM in the banking industry. The study employed the inclusive one-to-one interview approach for collecting data from the banking professionals. A semi-structured in-depth interview with fifteen banking professionals was done by the researchers. The study was thematic with the goal of making meaning of the participants' reactions. The study relied on the manual analysis to draw its conclusions due to the small sample size. The results indicate that most banks have already embraced the Green HRM functions with the help of E-HRM. However, the significant barriers in adopting GHRM using E-HRM in the banking sector are lack of knowledge, cost factor, technical issues, poor organizational support, etc. The study recommended some solutions as creating awareness, ensuring organizational support, developing technical skills, effective monitoring, rewarding etc. for effectively adopting GHRM practices through E-HRM. The study will surely be beneficial for the policymakers to understand the current scenario of GHRM and E-HRM practices in the banking sector of Bangladesh and therefore take appropriate measures to ensure workplace sustainability.

TL;DR

This qualitative study examines how Bangladesh’s banking sector adopts Green HRM practices through electronic HRM to support workplace sustainability. It finds partial adoption of GHRM via E-HRM, alongside barriers such as lack of knowledge, cost, technical issues, and weak organizational support.

Key findings

  • Most banks in Bangladesh have already adopted Green HRM functions either fully or partially with the help of E-HRM, following green policies prescribed by Bangladesh Bank.
  • GHRM practices were reported across HR planning and job design, recruitment and selection, training and development, compensation and benefits, and performance appraisal, often using online systems, email, software, and e-payment.
  • Major barriers to adopting GHRM through E-HRM include lack of knowledge, cost factor, technical issues, poor organizational support, security and privacy concerns, and complexity in electronic practices.
  • Suggested solutions include creating awareness, ensuring organizational support, developing technical skills, effective monitoring, rewarding green behavior, improving IT infrastructure, and maintaining strict privacy and backup systems.

Methods

  • Qualitative study using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 15 banking professionals from different public and private commercial banks in Bangladesh.
  • Participants were selected by convenience sampling and had at least five years of banking experience; they held roles such as Manager, Principal Officer, Senior Officer, Officer, and Vice-President.
  • Data were recorded with permission, transcribed, and analyzed thematically using manual analysis due to the small sample size.

Limitations

  • The paper states that the study relied heavily on data from a single source, leading to a common method variance problem.
  • The paper states that respondents came from a single industry or even a single nation, which may make it difficult to draw broad conclusions.
  • Evident from the text: the small sample of 15 and convenience sampling limit generalizability, and the manual thematic analysis is tied to the small sample size.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-10.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
