A systematic review of defining strategic human resource management and elements of sustainable human resource management

Abstract

Human resource management (HRM) has been evolving for over 15 years. It helps to develop strategic human resource management. Not just ‘business’ goals but broad organisational goals in various areas are the foundation of sustainable HRM. The relationship between HRM and sustainability is central to this approach. Sustainable human resource management aims to create positive short- and long-term economic, social, human, and ecological significance. Sustainable Development Goals were set forward in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Human resource experts can develop approaches, goals, actions, and management practices to attain various sustainability goals. This connection to sustainability has influenced studies outside of strategic human resource management and necessitated the evaluation of other theories to get insight into Sustainable HRM.
