Abstract

Today, Sustainability is a term that is widely used in various fields, and since people are one of the most important resources in organizations, sustainability is a constant concern for human resource management systems. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying the antecedents and consequences of sustainable human resource management in a qualitative way. Data collection was done by applying the theoretical foundations of the subject and semi-structured interviews and by the snowball method in a targeted manner. The thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. After discovering the themes of the communication pattern between them in the form of a drawing model, their validity and reliability were examined and confirmed. The obtained results showed 71 unique concepts that identified 3 antecedents (sustainable work system, sustainable management, and sustainable human resources) and 3 consequences (individual level, organizational level, and community level) for sustainable human resource management.
