Introduction: Nowadays, green human resources management is one of the new approaches which is considered in all organizational and managerial fields. The health sector needs green human resources management to improve service quality more than other fields. Thus, the purpose of this research was to present a green human resources management model in the health sector.
Method: The research method was a qualitative grounded theory, and the participants were 28 health-related people in Isfahan in 1398. They were selected through the purposive sampling method, and in-depth semi-structured interviews were used for them. In order to analyze the data, open, axial, and selective codings were utilized.
Findings: Data analysis led to identifying the following items: 51 preliminary concepts, 16 central themes of structural context (software and hardware), attitude to health, health-oriented policy, social responsibility, cooperative culture, for-profit actors, managerial view of health, materialistic and meta-materialistic requirements, lifelong learning, competition opening, investment, health-oriented associations, employee empowerment, crises management, and the formation of health-oriented governance which formed the central theme of the research, i.e. "Green Human Resources Development as Sustainable Health Development". Moreover, in order to validate the findings, the analysis process was rereviewed and the opinions of five experts outside the research were used. Finally, all the main themes were incorporated into the paradigm model of Strauss and Corbin.
Conclusion: Given the views of the experts, it can be concluded that using green human resources management is implementable in the health sector. In addition, serious attention must be paid to its different aspects such as employee empowerment, hardware and software platforms, various investments, and specialized personnel.
