Sustainable HRM: a comparative and international perspective
Abstract
This chapter brings a comparative and institutional perspective to the emergent concept of Sustainable HRM, which links corporate social responsibility (CSR) and human resource management (HRM). Sustainable HRM is defined as the adoption of HRM strategies and practices that enable the achievement of financial, social, and ecological goals, with an impact inside and outside of the organisation and over a long-term time horizon while controlling for unintended side effects and negative feedback. The authors suggest that there may not be a universal version of sustainable HRM, but that different national institutional environments lead to the emergence of different models. Some of these are more conducive to develop sustainability in HRM, whereas others mean that it is more challenging for the HRM function to achieve environmental, social, and human sustainability.

HRM research largely recognizes the importance of context, but the Sustainable HRM literature has mostly neglected its influence.
“Although HRM research largely recognizes the importance of context (Cooke, 2018), the Sustainable HRM literature has mostly neglected its influence (for an exception, see Aust, Muller-Camen, & Poutsma, 2018;Ehnert et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
