SUSTAINABLE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, JOB CRAFTING, AND EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE: A CONCEPTUAL MODEL

Abstract

The past decade has witnessed a surge in interest in sustainable human resource management (SHRM) from both academics and practitioners. However, research on the interplay between SHRM, job crafting, and employee experience remains scarce, with little to no existing studies. This study aims to bridge this gap by conceptualizing the interrelationships between these three concepts and proposing a research model. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on current research in SHRM, job crafting, and employee experience. The proposed model integrates SHRM, emphasizing its focus on long-term ecological, financial, and social gains. Job crafting is positioned as a mediating variable between SHRM (independent variable) and employee experience (dependent variable). This model offers a holistic understanding of how SHRM practices can facilitate employee job crafting, ultimately leading to an improved employee experience. This study contributes to the existing literature by introducing a novel model that integrates these three crucial aspects of the modern workplace, paving the way for future validation.
