Sustainable Human Resource Development: An Empirical Study From An Organization Perspective To A Community Perspective
Abstract
The notion of human resource development is changing. It relates to individual development for organizational growth. Due to internationalization and technological advances, it is linked to the community, environmental, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agendas. Now, organizations realize the importance of creating products and services in a highly sustainable way. In this background, a study on HRD with a societal perspective is relevant for any firm’s sustainability. It helps to identify the confronts organizations face in addressing diversity and ethical awareness. Accordingly, this study is focused on the UAE among different industrial sectors with the help of a survey. It consists of both qualitative and quantitative analysis using SPSS 24.0. The outcome stressed the relationship between independent variables and the significance of sustainable HRD at the community level in shaping the well-being of the entire society. Hence, this study confirms that organizations must be vigilant in their actions and related activities regarding the welfare of stakeholders and the entire world. Further, the report sheds light on sustainable HRD practices for a sustainable community
