Abstract
The thesis examines the role of human resource management (HRM) in advancing the transition to a green economy. The concept of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) and its core functions – recruitment and selection, training, performance management, reward and employee involvement – are analysed through the lens of the Ability–Motivation–Opportunity (AMO) framework. Particular attention is paid to the development of green competencies, the principles of a just transition and the tasks arising from the Strategy for the Transition of the Republic of Uzbekistan to a Green Economy for 2019–2030. Recommendations are proposed for integrating environmental objectives into organisational personnel policy and into the system of training and retraining of personnel.
