At the moment, Saudi Arabia is going through a period of transformation. The constantly growing Saudi population and the aging population place a great deal of strain on the Saudi healthcare system to provide better healthcare services. The dearth of qualified healthcare personnel and the over reliance on foreign labor are important issues that policymakers should take into account. It is also critical to reevaluate healthcare Human Resource Development (HRD) programs in order to supply a vast pool of competent and appropriately trained healthcare personnel.Aligning traditional HR procedures with environmental objectives and regulations is known as "green HRM." It seeks to accomplish the organization's environmental goals, boost productivity, cut expenses, and draw in top talent who understand sustainability procedures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical mangers' perceptions on the difficulties and obstacles associated with green HRM in the healthcare industry.Descriptive, cross sectional research study was utilized in this research, it was conducted at King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital.two tools was developed to assess barriers and facilitators of GHRM among clinical mangers.All 100 clinical managers who were available served as study participants. Tools: The Green Human Resource Management Knowledge Questionnaire and the Perceived Challenges and Barriers by Clinical mangersregarding the Green Human Resource Management Questionnaire were the two instruments utilized to collect data.
Results : Most clinical mangers lacked sufficient understanding about green human resource management. Additionally, fewer than two-thirds of clinical mangers thought favorably of the difficulties and obstacles associated with green HRM. Lastly, among clinical mangers, there was no statistically significant relationship between their overall perception and knowledge of green HRM. Conclusion, the majority ofclinical mangers had a favorable opinion of the difficulties and obstacles associated with green HRM. Recommendations:Incorporate environmental sustainability objectives into the healthcare organization's vision, purpose, and values, and implement green HRM policies and practices. To further raise nursing students' awareness of environmental sustainability and green management, incorporate environmental sustainability subjects into the nursing curriculum.
