Abstract

The state of Rajasthan is a resource generator in the hospitality industry of India. Sustainable human resource practices form a core function in the development of this industry. Studies show a dearth of research in sustainable HR practices in the hospitality industry of Rajasthan. Sustainable human resource practices, in the Hospitality Industry in Rajasthan, India, are the focus of this study. The research examines variables taken from the SHRM report (2012) on the role of human in social, environmental and corporate sustainability. The paper provides empirical evidence for the influence of exogenous variables of sustainable HRM which includes: Values and ethics (VE), recruitment (REC), compensation (COMP), well-being (WB), development (DEV) and engagement (ENG) on sustainable growth of hospitality industry in Rajasthan. The study was conducted in hotels throughout Rajasthan. Data from 97 responses were analyzed after checking the normality and reliability. Six hypotheses were framed and tested using parametric tests. High positive correlation was observed among all variables except well-being to recruitment (0.129) and engagement to recruitment (0.195). The study shows that recruitment has a minimal impact on both well-being as well as engagement in organizations in Rajasthan.
