Abstract

The contribution of business and management scholars to the discourse on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has grown exponentially in the last decades. This article systematically reviews the extant literature on socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) and its role in fostering social value creation. The review analyzed 78 empirical studies from Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Findings indicate that CSR requirements serve as the primary drivers of SRHRM initiatives. However, research on the social dimension of sustainability—specifically, the “people” aspect—remains underdeveloped, rendering social sustainability the most underexplored pillar of sustainability. Consequently, the study calls for future research investigating the relationship between SRHRM and social value creation.
