Abstract

Profound changes in climate on account of the destruction of nature along with its consequences on the health/well-being/unemployment leading to social and economic problems across the globe posed a serious challenge to both the organizations at the microlevel and the nations at the macrolevel. Effective management of people by motivating them inculcates the performance culture which brought in a renewed role for HRM for business sustainability and success. One of the responses was seen in sustainable HRM making the human element at the centre stage of HRM activity. Linking sustainability to HRM also provided information on the related issues of the Green HRM, socially responsible HRM, ethical HRM, etc., thus categorizing the different strands of research into the first wave, second wave and third wave. This paper attempts to trace sustainable HRM from an evolutionary perspective, by analysing the literature and presenting it in a descriptive format.
