Why is it important?
This manuscript presents a systematic review of “sustainable human resource management” (HRM), highlighting its major themes and the evolution and tendencies observed in this field. It contributes to the development of this relatively new topic, offering a critical evaluation and identifying the highest impact research strands
Perspectives
This paper demonstrates that sustainable HRM has become a field of study in itself, as demonstrated by the growth in the number of documents. There has certainly been debate in the HRM field around sustainability (Pfeffer, 2010; Wilkinson et al., 2001), but this area is now more developed, and sustainable HRM is a new term and an emerging topic in the field, which developed as a subtheme of HRM with its own essential nature (Ehnert, 2009a; Kramar, 2014). Its emphasis is on the preservation of the ecological and social effects of organisational HR actions, whereas traditional SHRM pursues company strategic targets largely aimed at improving profit or organisational performance (Delery & Doty, 1996; Tang et al., 2018). (...) Table 5 sets out a menu of sustainable HRM practices, which we anticipate will serve as a preliminary guide for practitioners aiming to implement sustainable policies in their companies.
