Abstract

Sustainability and stakeholder theory and management are two interrelated topics, because stakeholder’s claims impact on the social, environmental, and economic performances of the organization. Indeed, a cooperative relation between the company and its stakeholders can trigger the development of the company sustainability. Within this perspective, the chapter explores Sustainable HRM from a stakeholder perspective. As a result, some knowledge gaps are highlighted and a research agenda composed of theoretical, managerial and methodological dimensions is advanced and discussed.
