Reviewing the Landscape: A Literature-based Exploration of Sustainable HR Practices and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Green HRM for Assessing Organizational Sustainability

In the dynamic and ever-evolving business environment of today, there is a growing emphasis on the integration of sustainability principles into Human Resource Management (HRM) practices (Delmas & Toffel, 2008). This study is dedicated to the critical examination of Sustainable HR Practices (SHRP) [1] and the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the evaluation of the impact of Green HRM strategies on organizational sustainability [7]. It delves into the emerging role of HR in advancing environmental sustainability, fostering corporate social responsibility, and ensuring enduring organizational prosperity [9]. Drawing on a comprehensive review of literature [18], empirical research, and case studies [8], this paper explores the significant challenges and opportunities within this evolving field. The proposed KPIs are intended to furnish organizations with a structured framework for the assessment of their Green HRM initiatives [3]), thereby facilitating the alignment of HR strategies with overarching sustainability objectives [13]. As businesses strive to strike a balance between profit, environmental responsibility, and employee well-being [21], this research provides valuable insights into the measurement and enhancement of Sustainable HR Practices to contribute to long-term success in the era of sustainable business.
