Abstract

The concept of sustainability is gaining high interest from scholars and researchers in all areas including sustainable human resource management (SHRM). The adoption of SHRM practices allows organisations to become more efficient, productive and competitive while ensuring environmental, social and economic outcomes. The objective of this systematic literature review is to examine the state of SHRM by determining current trends and theoretical aspects. Consequently, this will allow a better understanding of SHRM and therefore help to establish gaps and future research agenda. Articles were selected based on the PRISMA framework and were analysed in depth to provide comprehensive review on SHRM and its emerging issues. The study integrates previous insights on the topic to provide a far-reaching theoretical analysis that highlights the trends, dimensions, characteristics, practices, outcomes and models and theories related to SHRM. The findings of the paper identify areas for future research to expand the theories of SHRM.
