Abstract

Guest editorial Guest editorial: Advancing a sustainability perspective on HRD in India: organizational and individual level perspectives Introduction With the advancement in the field of human resource development (HRD), emphasis on its contribution to organizational sustainability has gained greater attention (Srivastava and Shree, 2019; Yadav, 2019; Rimanoczy and Pearson, 2010). Scholars have proposed that HRD practices should go beyond a focus on the efficiency and performance of employees to support sustainable development. Research on the relationship between HRD and sustainability is scarce; however, conceptual models have sought to propose such a connection (Jang and Ardichvili, 2020; Ardichvili, 2012; Sheehan et al., 2014). Scully-Russ (2012) used risk theory to propose that strategic, critical and holistic HRD can exist co-constructively with sustainability (Scully-Russ, 2012). She also proposed that with the shift in focus and efforts to connect HRD with sustainability, significant opportunities arise to enhance the field and bring a greater focus on sustainability issues. The incorporation of sustainability potentially can lead to the emergence of a new paradigm of HRD that can address major global societal issues.
