SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ROLE OF HRM

Abstract

Sustainability is not a new subject. Both society and business are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of a sustainable development “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987, p. 8). However, managers still need to comprehend how to deal with the challenges of achieving sustainability (Clarke & Clegg, 2000)
