Sustainable HRM: Enhancing Organizational Resilience and Adaptability

Abstract

The idea of sustainability is receiving recognition in the HR sector and shaping the development of a sustainable HRM strategy for employees. The prevailing consensus in human resource management (HRM) literature indicates that organizations seeking to attract and retain talent for future business operations must shift the current paradigm where human resources are exploited instead of nurtured. However, achieving sustainability objectives through the organization's human resources has received very little attention from specialists. Although scholars have recently gained interest in this field, the literature concerning the topic remains fragmented and diverse. The research is mainly descriptive and centers on illustrating the idea of sustainable HRM uncomplicatedly. Sustainable HRM is viewed as an extension of strategic HRM, offering a new approach to people management that prioritizes long-term enhancement, regeneration, and rejuvenation of human resources. Subsequently, the characteristics of sustainable HRM in contrast to conventional HRM are unclear. The research evaluates the immediate impacts of Sustainable HRM practices on organizational resilience and adaptability. The key findings emphasize how sustainable HRM practices affect organizational resilience both directly and indirectly.
