Abstract

Based on a three pillar understanding of sustainability the factor of social sustainability is one of these three pillars. Though the term “social” has different interpretations including a societal, social and human dimension, in this chapter the human dimension of social sustainability related to work is the main topic. This makes it necessary to ask which discipline deals with people at work besides HRM which also leads to the field of Human Factors and its relationship to sustainability. Recent changes and future challenges of Sustainable HRM in the working world are discussed. The elements of sustainable work systems including the concept of Quality of Working Life are introduced. The state of the human dimension of social sustainability is considered. Based on all these inputs the understanding of sustainable work systems is defined and examples of elements of a sustainable work system are analyzed. The outlook shows that further research is needed to bring this area to maturity.

Fußnoten
1
For the role of human and social capital in this context see also chapter “A Stakeholder Perspective for Sustainable HRM” in this book.
 
2
Because of these interdependencies of “human” and “social” capital the broader term of “social sustainability” instead of e.g. “human sustainability” is used here.
