Abstract
The contribution of business and management scholars to the discourse on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has grown exponentially in the last decades. This article systematically reviews the extant literature on socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) and its role in fostering social value creation. The review analyzed 78 empirical studies from Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Findings indicate that CSR requirements serve as the primary drivers of SRHRM initiatives. However, research on the social dimension of sustainability—specifically, the “people” aspect—remains underdeveloped, rendering social sustainability the most underexplored pillar of sustainability. Consequently, the study calls for future research investigating the relationship between SRHRM and social value creation.
在过去的几十年里,商业和管理学者对企业社会责任(CSR)的论述的贡献呈指数级增长。本文系统地回顾了社会责任人力资源管理及其在促进社会价值创造中的作用的现有文献。这篇综述分析了来自Scopus、b谷歌Scholar和Web of Science的78项实证研究。研究结果表明,企业社会责任需求是SRHRM举措的主要驱动力。然而,关于可持续发展的社会维度,特别是“人”方面的研究仍然不发达,使得社会可持续发展成为可持续发展中最未被探索的支柱。因此,该研究呼吁进一步研究SRHRM与社会价值创造之间的关系。
