This research aims to present a Green Human Resource Model (GHRM) and to define the indicators and components of HRM.

After the analysis of the recorded interviews, the green HRM components were identified. In the quantitative phase, a questionnaire was developed using the data collected from the Delphi steps and gathered from the experts. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were tested using the construct validity method. Utilizing the Cochran formula, 384 municipality staffs take part in the study. Applying structural equations and using the STATA software, the hypotheses were checked the results are as follow: out of eight indicators regarding HRM model, education development and employees’ participation enhancement were not statistically significant.
